Endemic is an organism exclusive of a given territory, regardless of the extension of the latter and of the parameters (geographical or other) that define it (Zunino M. & Zullini A., 2004. Biogeografia. La dimensione spaziale dell'evoluzione. 2nd edition. Casa Editrice Ambrosiana, Milan, 374 pp. [ISBN: 978-8808-08707-2]).

Endemic

A taxon is said to be endemic to an area if it lives there and nowhere else.
