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

Phylogeny as a proxy for ecology in seagrass amphipods: which traits are most conserved? [PDF]
, 2013 Increasingly, studies of community assembly and ecosystem function combine trait data and phylogenetic relationships to gain novel insight into the ecological and evolutionary constraints on community dynamics.

Phylogenetic diversity of the Rickettsiae [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1989 Small subunit rRNA sequences have been determined for representative strains of six species of the family Rickettsiaceae: Rickettsia rickettsii, Rickettsia prowazekii, Rickettsia typhi, Coxiella burnetii, Ehrlichia risticii, and Wolbachia persica. The relationships among these sequences and those of other eubacteria show that all members of the family ...

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.

Abundance-weighted phylogenetic diversity measures distinguish microbial community states and are robust to sampling depth [PDF]
PeerJ, 2013 In microbial ecology studies, the most commonly used ways of investigating alpha (within-sample) diversity are either to apply non-phylogenetic measures such as Simpson’s index to Operational Taxonomic Unit (OTU) groupings, or to use classical ...

Taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic beta diversity in the Inner Mongolia grassland
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021 Beta diversity, which measures the variation in community composition along environmental gradients, has great significance for biodiversity conservation and nature reserve construction.
