Surprising. There must be a lot of limited range species of bugs in the Appalachians.

Lots of endemic salamanders and bats here . . .

I thought global warming would threaten unique Arctic species in Alaska.

There are probably fewer species to begin with in Alaska.

Not really - Virginia, North Carolina, and Tennessee are all next to each other.

Arizona surprised me. The others made sense, as they were either states that I would expect to have large numbers of native species (e.g., Florida, Hawaii) or states with a lot of variety in terms of climate/land type/etc. (e.g., California, North Carolina, Texas). But Arizona seems like largely a dry, dessert state that wouldn't have as many species to begin with.

When you are in deserts you get a lot of micro-climates, which in theory create islands of diversity that leads to speciation.

And, in turn, small numbers of each species, leading to a classification as "endangered."

If they have a small population and occupy a small habitat then they are vulnerable to rapid extinction due to random events like natural disasters and disease outbreaks so endangered doesn't need quotation marks.

This is kind of an odd one to think about, because if the species is not present at all in a certain state, it doesnt count, but if it has a low amount it counts. So not a constant scale if you get what I mean. (not good, bad, worse, but good, bad, ow all are dead? that's ok then)

Yes, I was thinking something along these lines. It's useful to know where species are facing extinction as far as intervention goes though. But it would be interesting to see a quiz with the most extinct/endangered species as well.

I wonder how they can tell if flitterbicks are endangered?
