Beyond phylogeny: phytochemical diversity as a unique metric for biodiversity in the Gentianales. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary In contrast to phylogenetic diversity (PD), phytochemical diversity is not often utilised to measure biodiversity, although it forms an important aspect of biotic variation. The aim of this study was to explore phytochemical diversity across the flowering plant order Gentianales and the extent to which PD reliably represents phytochemical ...
