The identification of the factors driving species richness and diversity variations in a landscape has key role in ecology and in biodiversity conservation plans. In this study, we focused our attention on different vertebrates’ taxa present in the Baixo Vouga Lagunar (BVL) and aimed to identify biodiversity hotspots in this Portuguese region. To achieve that goal, we reviewed ecological studies that targeted terrestrial vertebrates inhabiting the BVL and used their datasets as a basis for our study. Then, we collected ecologically relevant environmental variables, established three ecological hypotheses encompassing those variables (H1: Landscape composition; H2: Anthropic disturbance; H3: Water presence), and tested them to assess which d...
