The use of phylogenies in ecology is increasingly common and has broadened our
understanding of biological diversity. Ecological sub‐disciplines, particularly conservation …

To date, there is little evidence that phylogenetic diversity has contributed to nature
conservation. Here, we discuss the scientific justification of using phylogenetic diversity in …

Wildlife trade is a multibillion dollar industry that is driving species toward extinction. Of>
31,500 terrestrial bird, mammal, amphibian, and squamate reptile species,~ 24%(N= 7638) …

Human activities continue to erode the tree of life, requiring us to prioritize research and
conservation. Amphibians represent key victims and bellwethers of global change, and the …

Spatial planning has to deal with trade-offs between various stakeholders' wishes and
needs as part of planning and management of landscapes, natural resources and/or …

In an era of accelerated biodiversity loss and limited conservation resources, systematic
prioritization of species and places is essential. In terrestrial vertebrates, evolutionary …

This book provides a first synthetic view of an emerging area of ecology and biogeography,
linking individual-and population-level processes to geographic distributions and …

The species problem has triggered the publication of an almost infinite number of theoretical
and practical studies, including quite a number of books. I should, therefore, perhaps briefly …

The hypotheses that have been derived to explain the distribution, abundance, dynamics,
and diversity of species are typically tested using data matrices containing the names and …

Background Integrated, efficient, and global prioritization approaches are necessary to
manage the ongoing loss of species and their associated function." Evolutionary …
