There were significant differences in species composition
among polypores collected in transects in relation to endemism
centres (Rglobal ¼ 0.321; number of permutations ¼ 9999,
p ¼ 0.0001, when using richness; Rglobal ¼ 0.297, number of
permutations ¼ 9999, p ¼ 0.0001, when using abundance). However,
groups were not clearly clustered (Fig. 3A, B). Differences were
also significant when pairs of endemism centres were compared
(Tables 2 and 3).
