Quantifying phylogenetic beta diversity: distinguishing between 'true' turnover of lineages and phylogenetic diversity gradients. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The evolutionary dissimilarity between communities (phylogenetic beta diversity PBD) has been increasingly explored by ecologists and biogeographers to assess the relative roles of ecological and evolutionary processes in structuring natural communities.

Prioritizing phylogenetic diversity captures functional diversity unreliably [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2018 An ongoing conservation question is if we can maintain functional diversity by optimizing for preservation of phylogenetic diversity. Here, Mazel et al.

Phylogenetic Diversity Outperforms Functional Diversity in Predicting Aboveground Biomass Across Tree Strata in a Subtropical Forest [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionForest aboveground biomass (AGB) is crucial for maintaining global carbon balance, with its accumulation closely associated with biodiversity. However, the mechanisms by which these diversity effects take place, and which dimension of biodiversity that ...

Phylogenetic diversity and structure in moist and dry upland forests in the semi-arid region of Brazil [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2023 Understanding the factors influencing variation in the diversity and structure of rich biological communities (e.g., Neotropical upland forests) is essential in the context of climate change.

Plant Diversity, 2023 Beta diversity (β-diversity) is the scalar between local (α) and regional (γ) diversity. Understanding geographic patterns of β-diversity is central to ecology, biogeography, and conservation biology. A full understanding of the origin and maintenance of
