Reptile diversity information in J-BMP is based on species distribution data of all thereptiles natively found in Japan. We applied habitat suitability modeling on thedistribution data of each species to predict their presences per each 1 km x 1 km gridcell across Japan. Once predicted their distributions, we integrated additional speciesspecific properties of endemicity, extinction risk, and phylogenetic information todelineate geographic patterns of assorted aspects of biodiversity, such as taxonomic
species richness, richness of endangered species and evolutionary distinctiveness ofassemblages.
