Diversity hotspots and conservation gaps for the Chinese endemic seed flora (2016, background): “…shows the south boundary of China, Hunan (Brummitt and Lughadha, 2003); north Guangdong and south Hunan (Cañadas et al., 2014); southeast Tibet (Cadotte and Davies, 2010); southeast Anhui and northwest Zhejiang (Chen, 1998); south Zhejiang, northwest Fujian, and southeast Jiangxi (Crisp et…”
Unifying measures of biodiversity: understanding when richness and phylogenetic diversity should be congruent (2013, background): “…et al., 2009; Cadotte et al., 2010b), but methods that quantify either the amount of evolutionary history or the evolutionary distinctiveness of a set of species are most appropriate to examine spatial patterns of diversity (Faith, 1992; Isaac, 2007; Cadotte & Davies, 2010; Davies & Cadotte, 2011).”
Identifying hotspots of endemic woody seed plant diversity in China (2012, background): “Where conservation resources are limited, PE and BED are useful means for understanding biogeographic patterns and subsequent setting of biodiversity conservation priorities (Rosauer et al., 2009; Cadotte & Davies, 2010).”
A guide to phylogenetic metrics for conservation, community ecology and macroecology (2016, background): “…abundant species are de-emphasized relative to locally rare species, which are weighted more highly because they may be important for conservation (Cadotte & Davies, 2010); versus (ii) those that emphasize abundant species, such as when analysing species contributions to ecosystem function…”
Conservation biogeography – foundations, concepts and challenges (2010, background): “…2010; Scoble & Lowe, 2010); data requirements (Devictor et al., 2010; Robertson et al., 2010); approaches for assigning conservation priorities (Cadotte & Davies, 2010; Ferrier & Drielsma, 2010; Kraft et al., 2010); approaches for integrating information from numerous disparate sources…”
Phylogenetic endemism in terrestrial mammals (2015, background): “Phylogenetic endemism (PE; Rosauer et al., 2009) is a relative measure of endemism which apportions each unit of PD across the areas where it occurs so as to identify concentrations of spatially restricted PD (see related measures in Faith et al., 2004; Cadotte & Davies, 2010).”
Difficult decisions: Strategies for conservation prioritization when taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional diversity are not spatially congruent (2018, background): “…information in order to identify ecologically, genetically, or phenotypically unique species and the sites harbouring such species (Brum et al., 2017; Cadotte and Davies, 2010; Carvalho et al., 2017; de Bello et al., 2010; Faith, 1992; Isaac et al., 2007; Pollock et al., 2017; Rolland et al.,…”
Functional over-redundancy and high functional vulnerability in global fish faunas on tropical reefs (2014, background): “In a similar way that some indices combine species evolutionary distinctiveness and rarity to inform conservation at biogeographical scales (33), we may propose vulnerability indices based on species functional distinctiveness, abundance, rarity, dispersal, and colonizing capacity.”
Phylogenetic trees do not reliably predict feature diversity (2014, background): “(2014) 20, 600–612 A J ou rn al o f Co ns er va ti on y D iv er si ty a nd D is tr ib ut io ns et al., 2005; Forest et al., 2007; Cadotte & Davies, 2010; Collen et al., 2011) (Text S1), although some authors are more cautious about this expectation (Winter et al., 2013).”
