Formal Links between Feature Diversity and Phylogenetic Diversity [PDF]
Systematic Biology, 2020 Abstract The extent to which phylogenetic diversity (PD) captures feature diversity (FD) is a topical and controversial question in biodiversity conservation. In this short paper, we formalize this question and establish a precise mathematical condition for FD (based on discrete characters) to coincide with PD.

Environmental correlates of taxonomic and phylogenetic diversity in the Atlantic Forest
Journal of Biogeography, 2021 There is little consensus on which environmental variables are best at predicting multiple dimensions of diversity. We ask whether there are common environmental correlates of diversity, despite ecological differences, across nine clades of plants and ...

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.

Phylogenetic diversity of nonmarine picocyanobacteria [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2013 We studied the phylogenetic diversity of nonmarine picocyanobacteria broadening the sequence data set with 43 new sequences of the 16S rRNA gene. The sequences were derived from monoclonal strains isolated from four volcanic high-altitude athalassohaline lakes in Mexico, five glacial ultraoligotrophic North Patagonian lakes and six Italian lakes of ...

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021 Phylogenetic diversity is a biodiversity measurement that describes the amount of evolutionary history contained by the taxonomic units in a region. It has proven to be an important metric for determining conservation priorities.

Climate and plant community diversity in space and time. [PDF]
, 2020 Climate strongly shapes plant diversity over large spatial scales, with relatively warm and wet (benign, productive) regions supporting greater numbers of species.

Spatial patterns of phylogenetic diversity [PDF]
Ecology Letters, 2010 Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 141–149 Abstract Ecologists and conservation biologists have historically used species–area and distance–decay relationships as tools to ...
