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,

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.

An interchange property for the rooted Phylogenetic Subnet Diversity on phylogenetic networks
Journal of Mathematical Biology, 2023 Abstract Faith’s Phylogenetic Diversity (PD) on rooted phylogenetic trees satisfies the so-called strong exchange property that guarantees that, for every two sets of leaves of different cardinalities, a leaf can always be moved from the largest set to the smallest in such a way that the sum of the PD values does not decrease.

Geo-Distribution Patterns of Soil Fungal Community of Pennisetum flaccidum in Tibet
Journal of Fungi, 2022 Pennisetum flaccidum can be used as a pioneer species for the restoration of degraded grasslands and as a high-quality forage for local yak and sheep in alpine regions.
