Past and future of a century old Citrus tristeza virus collection: a California citrus germplasm tale. [PDF]
, 2013 Citrus tristeza virus (CTV) isolates collected from citrus germplasm, dooryard and field trees in California from 1914 have been maintained in planta under quarantine in the Citrus Clonal Protection Program (CCPP), Riverside, California. This collection,

Changes in taxonomic and phylogenetic diversity in the Anthropocene [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2020 To better understand how ecosystems are changing, a multifaceted approach to measuring biodiversity that considers species richness (SR) and evolutionary history across spatial scales is needed. Here, we compiled 162 datasets for fish, bird and plant assemblages across the globe and measured how taxonomic and phylogenetic diversity changed

Global priorities for conservation across multiple dimensions of mammalian diversity [PDF]
, 2017 Conservation priorities that are based on species distribution, endemism, and vulnerability may underrepresent biologically unique species as well as their functional roles and evolutionary histories.

The Shapley Value of Phylogenetic Trees [PDF]
, 2007 Every weighted tree corresponds naturally to a cooperative game that we call a "tree game"; it assigns to each subset of leaves the sum of the weights of the minimal subtree spanned by those leaves.

The metagenomics of biosilicification: causes and effects [PDF]
, 2008 In order to determine the links between geochemical parameters controlling the formation of silica sinter in hot springs and their associated microbial diversity, a detailed characterisation of the waters and of in situ-grown silica sinters was combined ...

Optimizing phylogenetic diversity under constraints [PDF]
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2007 Phylogenetic diversity (PD) is a measure of the extent to which different subsets of taxa span an evolutionary tree, and provides a quantitative tool for studying biodiversity conservation. Recently, it was shown that the problem of finding subsets of taxa of given size to maximize PD can be efficiently solved by a greedy algorithm.

Spatial Pattern Analysis and Conservation Assessment of Apiaceae in Mongolia
PlantsThe family Apiaceae, distributed throughout the Northern Hemisphere, is the largest family of angiosperms. However, little is known about the conservation status, diversity, and distribution of Apiaceae species in Mongolia. This study had two main aims: (
