Phylogenetic constraints on ecosystem functioning [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2012 There is consensus that biodiversity losses will result in declining ecosystem functioning if species have different functional traits. Phylogenetic diversity has recently been suggested as a predictor of ecosystem functioning because it could approximate the functional complementarity among species.
