Fungi are an essential component of any ecosystem, but they can also cause mild and
severe plant diseases. Plant diseases are caused by a wide array of fungal groups that …

Systematic conservation planning and Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) are the two most
widely used approaches for identifying important sites for biodiversity. However, there is …

Conservation science is a rapidly develo** discipline, and the knowledge base it
generates is relevant for practical applications. It is therefore crucial to monitor biases and …

Simple Summary This study assesses for the first time all the vascular endemic plant taxa of
Greece, according to their decline and rarity. Phylogenetic analysis and its spatial overview …

Accounting for evolutionary relationships between and within species is important for
biodiversity conservation planning, but is rarely considered in practice. Here we introduce a …

Aim The conservation value of sites is often based on species richness (SR). However,
metrics of phylogenetic diversity (PD) reflect a community's evolutionary potential and reveal …

Climate change is causing shifts in the distribution of many species and populations
inhabiting mountain tops are particularly vulnerable to these threats because they are …

The phylogenetic diversity measure,('PD'), measures the relative feature diversity of different
subsets of taxa from a phylogeny. At the level of feature diversity, PD supports the broad …

The Earth's evolutionary history is threatened by species loss in the current sixth mass
extinction event in Earth's history. Such extinction events not only eliminate species but also …

Endemics co‐occur because they evolved in situ and persist regionally or because they
evolved ex situ and later dispersed to shared habitats, generating evolutionary or ecological …
