Weighted Endemism, which is the sum of the reciprocal of the total number of cells each species in a grid cell is found in. Emphasizes areas that have a high proportion of animals with restricted ranges. Corrected Weighted Endemism, which is Weighted Endemism divided by Species Richness per grid cell.
