Species diversity versus phylogenetic diversity: A practical study in the taxonomically difficult genus Dactylorhiza (Orchidaceae) (2006, background): “This contrasts with the results of Rodrigues and Gaston (2002), who reported a near perfect linear correlation between erminals), phylogenetic diversity and index (ratio of the ions of Europe, North Africa and the near East number of bird genera and phylogenetic diversity in a grid of southern…”
Rarest of the rare: advances in combining evolutionary distinctiveness and scarcity to inform conservation at biogeographical scales (2010, background): “…might equate to clades deeper in the phylogenetic tree, so maximizing the representation of families or genera rather than species would perform better at capturing evolutionary diversity (Rodrigues & Gaston, 2002); or taxonomic hierarchies can be surrogate phylogenies (Crozier et al., 2005).”
Functional diversity (FD), species richness and community composition (2002, methodology): “Advantages of including common basal branches include preventing FD ¼ 0 for single-species communities, so that FD ¼ 0 is reserved for communities without any species (other differences and advantages are discussed elsewhere; Rodrigues & Gaston 2002 ).”
Energy, species richness, and human population size: conservation implications at a national scale (2003, background): “It is just a few, often rare species (such as Green Barbet [Stactolaema olivacea]) that can only be represented in a single or just a few cells (see Rodrigues and Gaston 2002b) characterized by high human population density.”
Mammals on the EDGE: Conservation Priorities Based on Threat and Phylogeny (2007, unknown): “Third, EDGE scores could also be used to weight species’ importance in selecting reserve networks, building on previous studies that have used phylogenetic diversity [50–52] or threatened species [11] to identify priority areas for conservation.”
Unprotecting the rare species: a niche‐based gap analysis for odonates in a core Cerrado area (2011, background): “The evaluation of priority areas for conservation is an essential first step towards an effective conservation network (VaneWright et al., 1991; Rodrigues & Gaston, 2002; Gaston & Rodrigues, 2003).”
Unifying measures of biodiversity: understanding when richness and phylogenetic diversity should be congruent (2013, background): “Given seemingly contradictory results from empirical studies (Rodrigues & Gaston, 2002; Forest et al., 2007; Devictor et al., 2010; Tucker et al., 2012), reconciling results from different biodiversity metrics, and further, predicting how these differing metrics will relate is clearly necessary.”
Speciation and radiations track climate transitions since the Miocene Climatic Optimum: a case study of southern African chameleons (2008, methodology): “Non-parametric tests show that the two scaled measures are correlated (Spearman’s rho; P Rodrigues & Gaston, 2002 ).”
Relationships among levels of biodiversity and the relevance of intraspecific diversity in conservation - a project synopsis (2008, background): “phylogenetic diversity of plants and animals, in designing networks of protected areas (Faith, 1992; Bowen, 1999; Moritz, 2002; Rodrigues and Gaston, 2002; Sechrest et al., 2002; Forest et al., 2007), consensus has emerged that directing conservation efforts at protecting species or ecosystems richn”
Global patterns in the divergence between phylogenetic diversity and species richness in terrestrial birds (2017, background): “Studies considering PD for conservation purposes have become more frequent (Rodrigues & Gaston, 2002; Winter et al., 2012; Brooks et al., 2015).”
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).”
