• Maximising phylogenetic diversity in the selection of networks of conservation areas (2002, methodology): “The phylogenetic diversity (PD) of a group of taxa has been defined as the branch length of the phylogenetic tree which includes only those taxa (Faith, 1994; Polasky et al., 2001; Fig.”
• Diversidades filogenética e funcional: novas abordagens para a Ecologia de comunidades (2009, background): “Por causa disso, uma melhor estratégia de conservação é estabelecer reservas que contenham a maior diversidade filogenética possível (Vane-Wright et al. 1991, Williams et al. 1991, Faith 1996, mas veja Polasky et al. 2001).”
• Selecting Biological Reserves Cost-Effectively: An Application to Terrestrial Vertebrate Conservation in Oregon (2001, result): “…choosing sites based on a measure of diversity versus the number of species generally yields similar results (Haecker, Cowlishaw, and Williams 1998; Polasky et al. 2001; Williams and Humphries 1996) because diversity measures and the number of species tend to be highly positively correlated.”
• Phylogenetic diversity of Amazonian tree communities (2015, background): “All these metrics are often correlated with species richness (SR; the total number of species in a community), and thus SR can sometimes be used as a proxy for PD (Polasky et al., 2001; Rodrigues & Gaston, 2002).”
