It’s peculiar, you conclude, to a certain kind of mice (7)

I believe the answer is:

endemic

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'it's peculiar you' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'conclude to a certain kind of mice' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'conclude' could be 'end' (I've seen this before) and 'end' is located in the answer.
an anagram of 'mice' is 'emic' which is within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
