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.

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 ...

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.

The phylogenetic diversity of eukaryotic transcription [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 2003 Eukaryotic transcription is a highly regulated process involving interactions between large numbers of proteins. To analyse the phylogenetic distribution of the components of this process, six crown eukaryote group genomes were queried with a reference set of transcription-associated (TA) proteins.

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2021 Biodiversity can be quantified by taxonomic, phylogenetic, and functional diversity. Current evidence points to a lack of congruence between the spatial distribution of these facets due to evolutionary and ecological constraints.

Phylogenetic diversity–area curves [PDF]
Ecology, 2012 Phylogenetic diversity–area curves are analogous to species–area curves and quantify the relationship between the phylogenetic diversity of species assemblages and the area over which assemblages are sampled. Here, we developed theoretical expectations of these curves under different ecological and macroevolutionary processes. We first used simulations

Phylogenetic diversity of Mesorhizobium in chickpea [PDF]
Journal of Biosciences, 2014 Crop domestication, in general, has reduced genetic diversity in cultivated gene pool of chickpea (Cicer arietinum) as compared with wild species (C. reticulatum, C. bijugum). To explore impact of domestication on symbiosis, 10 accessions of chickpeas, including 4 accessions of C. arietinum, and 3 accessions of each of C. reticulatum and C.

The Phylogenetic Limits to Diversity-Dependent Diversification
Systematic Biology, 2022 Abstract While the theory of micro-evolution by natural selection assigns a crucial role to competition, its role in macroevolution is less clear. Phylogenetic evidence for a decelerating accumulation of lineages suggests a feedback of lineage diversity on diversification. However, does this feedback only occur between close relatives,

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 ...
