马达加斯加是国际保护工作的一个关键优先事项，基于几乎无与伦比的地方性，物种多样性和人类威胁水平。过去二十年来进行的实地研究大大扩展了对该岛生物区系的了解，使任何一个研究小组都难以保持对来自广泛学科的生物多样性和特有性贡献者的最新估计。在这里，我们总结了生物多样性的信息，提供了修订后的估计物种丰富度，特有性，和各种各样的分类群体发生在岛上的知识状态。在不同的分类群体中。最近出版的《马达加斯加自然史》，是近300个国家的综合著作。
Madagascar is a critical priority for international conservation efforts, based on almost unparalleled levels of endemism, species diversity, and human threat. Field research conducted over the past two decades has greatly expanded knowledge of the island's biota, making it difficult for any single research team to maintain up to date estimates of biodiversity and endemism contributors from a wide range of disciplines, provides the means to update these estimates. Here, we summarize biodiversity information presented in the volume by providing revised estimates of species richness, endemism, and state of knowledge of a wide variety of taxonomic groups occurring on the island. across taxonomic groups. The recent publication of The Natural History of Madagascar, a synthesis by nearly 300
