Quantifying the difference between phylogenetic diversity and diversity indices. [PDF]
J Math BiolAbstractPhylogenetic diversity is a popular measure for quantifying the biodiversity of a collection Y of species, while phylogenetic diversity indices provide a way to apportion phylogenetic diversity to individual species. Typically, for some specific diversity index, the phylogenetic diversity of Y is not equal to the sum of the diversity indices of

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

Spatial patterns and conservation of genetic and phylogenetic diversity of wildlife in China
Science Advances, 2021 Meta-analyses reveal the large-scale spatial patterns of genetic and phylogenetic diversity for Chinese terrestrial vertebrates. Genetic diversity and phylogenetic diversity reflect the evolutionary potential and history of species, respectively. However,

Phylogenetic Diversity within Seconds [PDF]
Systematic Biology, 2006 We consider a (phylogenetic) tree with n labeled leaves, the taxa, and a length for each branch in the tree. For any subset of k taxa, the phylogenetic diversity is defined as the sum of the branch-lengths of the minimal subtree connecting the taxa in the subset.

Maximum levels of global phylogenetic diversity efficiently capture plant services for humankind
Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2021 The divergent nature of evolution suggests that securing the human benefits that are directly provided by biodiversity may require counting on disparate lineages of the Tree of Life.
