Other claims from this paper (17)
- Observation Mesoamerican and tropical/subtropical South American wetlands contained 2060 associated species.
- Observation Bolivian wetlands contained 1026 species.
- Observation Bolivian wetlands were less diverse than temperate New World wetlands.
- Observation South American wetlands were less diverse than temperate New World wetlands.
- Observation Central American wetlands were less diverse than temperate New World wetlands.
- Observation Wetland phytodiversity was described as an exception to the latitudinal richness gradient.
- Association Neotropical wetland phytodiversity generally correlated poorly with terrestrial habitat diversity.
- Observation Many Neotropical wetland species had broad ranges.
- Observation Few Neotropical wetland species were endemic relative to terrestrial habitats.
- Method / resource Similarity indices were unsatisfactory for floristic similarity analysis at the system level.
- Observation Dominant species in Bolivian wetlands were usually very widely distributed.
- Observation The broad range of dominant species precluded regional wetland associations based on dominance.
- Method / resource DCA usually grouped wetlands from the same Bolivian region.
- Method / resource Macroregional DCA grouped Bolivia, Brazil, and Peru together.
- Method / resource Macroregional DCA grouped Colombia, the Guianas, and Venezuela together.
- Method / resource Macroregional DCA grouped all Central American countries together.
- Method / resource Mexico and Ecuador had no clear macroregional DCA group.
