Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Biodiversity is a multifaceted concept covering different levels of organization from genes to ecosystems. Biodiversity has at least three dimensions: (a) Taxonomic diversity (TD): a measure that is sensitive to the number and abundances of species.

Eggshell pigment composition covaries with phylogeny but not with life history or with nesting ecology traits of British passerines [PDF]
, 2015 No single hypothesis is likely to explain the diversity in eggshell coloration and patterning across birds, suggesting that eggshell appearance is most likely to have evolved to fulfill many nonexclusive functions.

On opportunities and threats to conserve the phylogenetic diversity of Neotropical palms
Diversity and Distributions: A journal of biological invasions and biodiversity, 2020 Palms are an ecologically and societally important plant group, with high diversity in the Neotropics. Here, we estimated the impacts of future climate change on phylogenetic diversity (PD) of Neotropical palms under varying climatic and dispersal ...

A Note on Encodings of Phylogenetic Networks of Bounded Level [PDF]
, 2009 Driven by the need for better models that allow one to shed light into the question how life's diversity has evolved, phylogenetic networks have now joined phylogenetic trees in the center of phylogenetics research. Like phylogenetic trees, such networks

Agriculturally dominated landscapes reduce bee phylogenetic diversity and pollination services
Science, 2019 Ancestral history matters Biodiversity is sometimes quantified purely by the number of species within a system that allow it to function to produce ecosystem services. Grab et al. show that simple species counting is too simplistic.
