Abstract
iTUPA is a free online application for automatizing the Topographic-Unit Parsimony Analysis (TUPA), which identifies areas of endemism based on topography. iTUPA generates species-occurrences matrices based on user-defined topographic units (TUs) and provides a parsimony analysis of the generated matrix. We tested iTUPA after a proposal of regionalization for the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. iTUPA can handle millions of species registers simultaneously and uses Google Earth high-definition maps to visually explore the endemism data. We believe iTUPA is a useful tool for further discussions on biodiversity conservation. iTUPA is hosted on Google cloud and freely available at http://nuvem.ufabc.edu.br/itupa. iTUPA is implemented using R (version 3.5.1), with RStudio 1.1.453 used as the implementation IDE, Shiny 1.1.0 web framework, and Google Maps® API version 3.36.
