Journal ArticleDOI
Picante: R tools for integrating phylogenies and ecology
Steven W. Kembel,Peter Cowan,Matthew R. Helmus,William K. Cornwell,Hélène Morlon,David D. Ackerly,Simon P. Blomberg,Campbell O. Webb +7 more
TL;DR: Picante is a software package that provides a comprehensive set of tools for analyzing the phylogenetic and trait diversity of ecological communities and performs tests for phylogenetic signal in trait distributions, community structure and species interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
A guide to phylogenetic metrics for conservation, community ecology and macroecology.
Caroline M. Tucker,Marc W. Cadotte,Marc W. Cadotte,Sílvia B. Carvalho,T. Jonathan Davies,T. Jonathan Davies,Simon Ferrier,Susanne A. Fritz,Rich Grenyer,Matthew R. Helmus,Matthew R. Helmus,Lanna S. Jin,Arne Ø. Mooers,Sandrine Pavoine,Oliver Purschke,David W. Redding,Dan F. Rosauer,Marten Winter,Florent Mazel +18 more
TL;DR: Existing metrics in phylogenetic diversity metrics are organized by expanding on a unifying framework for phylogenetic information to improve the choice, application, and interpretation of phylo‐diversity metrics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic measures of biodiversity.
TL;DR: A theoretical framework based on phylogenetic comparative methods to integrate phylogeny into three measures of biodiversity: species variability, richness, and evenness is developed, which should aid with the incorporation of phylogenetic information into strategies for understanding biodiversity and its conservation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Separating the determinants of phylogenetic community structure
TL;DR: Both phylogenetic attraction, driven by environmental filtering, and phylogenetic repulsion, possibly caused by competition, simultaneously occur and obscure one another in the overall phylogenetic structure of sunfish communities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Island biogeography of the Anthropocene
TL;DR: As anole colonizations have increased, islands impoverished in native species have gained the most exotic species, the past influence of speciation on island biogeography has been obscured, and the species–area relationship has strengthened while the species-isolation relationship has weakened.
