Taxonomic distinctness and species richness as measures of functional structure in bird assemblages

Oecologia, 2001
Most traditional "biodiversity" indices have an uncertain ecological interpretation, unfavourable sampling properties, and excessive data requirements. A new index of taxonomic distinctness (the average evolutionary distance between species in an assemblage) has many advantages over traditional measures, but its ecological interpretation remains ...

Using taxonomic revision data to estimate the geographic and taxonomic distribution of undescribed species richness in the Braconidae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonoidea)

Insect Conservation and Diversity, 2009
Abstract.  1. Knowledge of global diversity patterns is important for research into the factors that shape them, and for systematic conservation planning. However, most species inventories are incomplete and biased towards conspicuous, charismatic, geographically widespread, and temperate species.

A Comparison of the Taxonomic Richness of Vascular Plants in China and the United States

The American Naturalist, 1999
Numbers of taxa at the level of order, family, genus, and species were tabulated for 12 subclass-level taxonomic groups of vascular plants in the floras of China and the United States. Analysis of these data showed that the flora of China is significantly more diverse than that of the United States.
