Quantifying extinction probabilities of endangered species for phylogenetic conservation prioritization may not be as sensitive as might be feared [PDF]
Biodiversity and Conservation, Springer Verlag, 2018, 27 (5),
pp.1189-1200, 2022 In this study we are concerned with the general problem of choosing from a set of endangered species T a subset S of k species to protect as a priority. Here, the interest to protect the species of S is assessed by the resulting expected phylogenetic diversity (ePD) of the set T, a widely used criterion for measuring the expected amount of evolutionary
