Toward unifying global hotspots of wild and domesticated biodiversity
Global biodiversity hotspots are areas containing high levels of species richness, endemism
and threat. Similarly, regions of agriculturally relevant diversity have been identified where many
domesticated plants and animals originated, and co-occurred with their wild ancestors and relatives.
The agro-biodiversity in these regions has, likewise, often been considered threatened. Biodiversity
and agro-biodiversity hotspots partly overlap, but their geographic intricacies have rarely been
