Conservation of oceanic island floras: present and future global challenges. (2010, background): “DNA sequences also may be used to estimate phylogenetic diversity, a quantitative measure of biodiversity based on phylogeny (Faith, 1992; Faith et al., 2004; Forest et al., 2007).”
Phylogenetic beta diversity: linking ecological and evolutionary processes across space in time. (2008, background): “…community assembly (i.e. Webb et al. 2002) and geographic mapping of phylogenetic diversity (e.g. Soutullo et al. 2005; Davies et al. 2007; Forest et al. 2007) by explicitly quantifying the change in phylogenetic patterns across geographic space, often as a function of environmental…”
Emerging patterns in the comparative analysis of phylogenetic community structure (2009, background): “Fjeldsa 1983; Schluter & McPhail 1992; Pfennig & Murphy 2000; but see Vamosi 2003 for a consideration of the influence of species pool on divergence of focal species).”
Measuring biodiversity to explain community assembly: a unified approach (2011, background): “Numerous studies have now explored the question of conserving phylogenetic diversity as a means of conserving both species traits and maintaining diversity for future evolutionary diversification (Forest et al., 2007; May, 2009).”
Global patterns in the divergence between phylogenetic diversity and species richness in terrestrial birds (2017, methodology): “Areas of very high or low rPD reveal information about the underlying structures of the communities, and indicate if these are taxonomically clustered or Journal of Biogeography 44, 709–721 ª 2017 John Wiley & Sons Ltd 714 overdispersed (Rodrigues et al., 2005; Forest et al., 2007).”
Microbes on mountainsides: Contrasting elevational patterns of bacterial and plant diversity (2008, neutral): “As expected, for both bacteria and plants (26) we found that the patterns of phylogenetic diversity mirrored those of taxon richness (Fig.”
Climate change drives speciation in the southern rock agama (Agama atra) in the Cape Floristic Region, South Africa (2009, background): “This is especially important in the CFR, where high diversity and endemism are thought to have been a result of climatic fluctuations (Linder et al., 1992; Midgley et al., 2001; Linder, 2003; Forest et al., 2007).”
Conservation planning in a changing world. (2007, background): “Targets could also recognize the relative phylogenetic diversity associated with species [ 10 ].”
Rarest of the rare: advances in combining evolutionary distinctiveness and scarcity to inform conservation at biogeographical scales (2010, background): “…shaping regional diversity patterns encompass evolutionary processes, including speciation and extinction, different areas might sample from different species pools with different underlying phylogenies, causing divergence in the distribution of taxonomic richness and PD (e.g. Forest et al., 2007).”
