"Endemic to" is the default value; search results will give taxa that are found only in the hotspot(s) and nowhere else. If you want to widen your search, select "Occurring in" to report on all species present, whether endemic or not.

Selecting two or more hotspots (e.g. Atlantic Forest and Cerrado) will generate results based on the combined area of those hotspots. Selecting "Any Hotspots" will generate results based on the combined area of all 34 hotspots.
