Assessing rapid evolution in a changing environment
TD measures ignore the fact that communities comprise species with different phylogenetic positions and a range of ecological functions, and, thus, often miss ...
Asynchrony of taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversity in birdsOverall, our analyses show that functional traits and ecological trends of dipterocarp species are shaped by the phylogenetic history. Our study ... Phylogenetic scale in ecology and evolution - bioRxivPhylogenetic diversity takes evolutionary relationships between taxa into account (Faith 1992) and reflects how much evolutionary history is behind the species ... Phylogenetic diversity and nature conservation: where are we?In terms of distinctiveness of single species, metrics such as taxonomic distinctness (TD) [1] and evolutionary distinctiveness (ED) [17] were introduced. The ...
