From urban lawns to urban meadows: Reduction of mowing frequency increases plant taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversity

Landscape and Urban Planning, 2018
In regions where intensive farming is the dominant land use, urban areas are an opportunity for biodiversity conservation. Thence there is an urgent need to promote more biodiversity-friendly cities.

Phylogenetic Diversity

1999
Abstract In the previous two chapters we examined the distribution of language diversity across the globe and through time. In this chapter we shift attention to diversity at a different level, that of the family of languages. As I pointed out in Section 1.3, there is no necessary correlation between diversity of languages and diversity ...

Phylogenetic diversity of lichen-associated homobasidiomycetes

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2007
The vast majority of lichenicolous fungi are relatively host-specific, nonvirulent ascomycetes and heterobasidiomycetes. A few known lichenicolous homobasidiomycetes (mushroom-forming fungi) generally exhibit broad host ecologies and in some cases, high virulence.

Phylogenetic Diversity, Virulence and Comparative Genomics

2012
Coxiella burnetii, the causative agent of Q fever, has remained a public health concern since the identification of this organism in 1935 by E. H. Derrick in Australia and at the Rocky Mountain Laboratory in the USA by H.R. Cox and G. Davis. Human Q fever has been described in most countries where C.

Functional and phylogenetic diversity of bird assemblages are filtered by different biotic factors on tropical mountains

Journal of Biogeography, 2018
It is not yet clear whether similar mechanisms influence the assembly of ecological communities across different continents. Here, we investigated the functional and phylogenetic diversity of bird assemblages along elevational gradients in two ...

Resilience to fire of phylogenetic diversity across biological domains

Molecular Ecology, 2018
Fire alters the structure and composition of above‐ and belowground communities with concurrent shifts in phylogenetic diversity. The inspection of postfire trends in the diversity of ecological communities incorporating phylogenetic information allows ...

Phylogenetic diversity and plant trait composition predict multiple ecosystem functions in green roofs.

Science of the Total Environment, 2018
Plant selection and diversity can influence the provision of key ecosystem services in extensive green roofs. While species richness does predict ecosystem services, functional and phylogenetic community structure may provide a stronger mechanistic link ...

Resident-Invader Phylogenetic Relatedness, Not Resident Phylogenetic Diversity, Controls Community Invasibility

The American Naturalist, 2015
A central goal of invasion biology is to elucidate mechanisms regulating community invasibility. Darwin's naturalization hypothesis, one of the oldest hypotheses in invasion biology, emphasizes the importance of phylogenetic relatedness (PR) between resident and invader species for predicting invasibility.

Phylogenetic Relationships and Genetic Diversity

2015
The success of crop improvement activities depends on the presence of adequate amounts of genetic diversity within a given crop species. Genetic diversity is detectable as genetic differences among the genotypes, strains, clones, or populations of a species.
