Journal on Protected Mountain Areas Research and Management
This paper deals with species whose ranges lie entirely (endemics) or predominantly (subendemics) within the political borders of Austria or the geographical borders of the Alps. The current overview of endemic and subendemic species of the Gesäuse National Park shows 195 animal and 30 plant species. This protected area is a hotspot of endemisms in the Eastern Alps and has exceptional biodiversity. The National Park is also a centre of endemism research, although the grave lack of experts and financing are serious limitations on the research.
Keywords: endemism, biodiversity, research, faunistic, floristic, experts, glaciation, nature conservation, Eastern Alps
