| description | Endemism is a concept commonly used to identify native taxa or biological groups with restricted range. However, the endemism has different interpretations according to the approach used in the biogeographic analysis (ecological or historical). The multiples interpretations of endemism have led to propose other concepts related with the geographical areas occupied by the endemic taxa (endemic area, area of endemism, center of endemism). In some cases, the results of the technics and protocols used to evaluate the endemism are misinterpreted because in the literature endemic area, area of endemism and center of endemism are used as synonyms. In this order of ideas, this review discusses the concept of endemism, and its application in multiples knowledge fields. The technics and protocols to evaluate the endemism are discussed and compared. It is concluded that it is necessary to use a unified concept of endemism, which could facilitate the interpretation of the endemism in ecology, conservation and biogeography. |

El endemismo es un concepto comúnmente usado para identificar a taxones nativos o grupos biológicos con área de distribución restringida. Sin embargo, el endemismo tiene diferentes interpretaciones de acuerdo a la aproximación usada para los análisis biogeográficos (ecológico o histórico). Los múltiples usos del endemismo han llevado a proponer otros conceptos relacionados con las áreas geográficas ocupadas por los taxones endémicos (área endémica, área de endemismo, centro de endemismo). En algunos casos los resultados de las técnicas y protocolos usados para evaluar el endemismo son malinterpretados, ya que en la literatura los tres términos son usados como sinónimos. En este orden de ideas, esta revisión discute el concepto de endemismo y su aplicación en múltiples campos del conocimiento. Además, se comparan y discuten las técnicas y protocolos usados para evaluar el endemismo. Se concluye que es necesario el uso de un concepto unificado del endemismo, lo cual podría facilitar su interpretación tanto en ecología como en conservación y biogeografía.
