Question

give me 10 examples of endemic plants.

Answer 1

There are several ways in which a species may come to be endemic to a particular area. An initially quite broadly distributed population may disappear from several habitats, due to changes which have occurred. The changes could be an influx of predators, human activities, and climate changes. Finally, the organism may be restrained to just one region. These endemic species can be found in certain specific areas.

For example, to come upon endemic animals, small islands are great places.

Endemic species, such as the lemurs of Madagascar and the tortoises of the Galápagos can be found here. Big islands also provide the same isolation but on a larger scale. Antarctica Hawaii and Australia are all huge landmasses where we can find a lot of endemic species. Kangaroos, koalas, and polar bears are all endemic to these places.

In the case of endemic plants, sometimes species become endemic due to habitat destruction as discussed above.

The Redwood Forest on the West Coast of the United States has become endemic as it is now almost entirely limited to California. While there was a time when Redwoods used to cover much of the United States but have been destroyed by logging and are now limited to a small conservation area.

Diseases, on the other hand, can also be endemic. An endemic disease may be geographically isolated or it may be isolated to a certain group. Malaria is an example of an endemic disease because it is mostly limited to small pockets of infection in Africa.
