A high-resolution model of bat diversity and endemism for continental Africa

- The first maps of bat richness and centres of endemism across Africa at fine grain.
- Intriguing richness patterns emerge at continental, regional and landscape scale.
- Richness often decreases strongly within a few kilometres away from streams.
- The spatial overlap of richness and rarity hotspots is rather low.
- Stacked SDMs can yield plausible diversity gradients despite Wallacean shortfall.
