Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic niche conservatism, phylogenetic signal and the relationship between phylogenetic relatedness and ecological similarity among species
TL;DR: A review of case studies indicates that ecological and phylogenetic similarities often are not related, and ecologists should not assume that phylogenetic niche conservatism exists, but rather should empirically examine the extent to which it occurs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of Phylogeny on Fungal Community Assembly and Ecosystem Functioning
TL;DR: This work uses an experimental mycorrhizal plant system to test whether functional similarity among closely related species (phylogenetic conservatism) can drive community assembly and ecosystem functioning and suggest that phylogenetic trait conservatism can promote coexistence and enhance ecosystem function because of functional complementarity among those same lineages.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic analysis of community assembly and structure over space and time.
TL;DR: This work compares communities over a range of evolutionary, ecological and geographic scales that differ in the extent to which speciation and adaptation contribute to community assembly and structure to provide insights into the processes that can generate community structure, as well as the evolutionary dynamics of community assembly.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unifying Species Diversity, Phylogenetic Diversity, Functional Diversity, and Related Similarity and Differentiation Measures Through Hill Numbers
Anne Chao,Chun-Huo Chiu,Lou Jost +2 more
TL;DR: This work provides a unified method of decomposing these diversities and constructing normalized taxonomic, phylogenetic, and functional similarity and differentiation measures, including N-assemblage phylogenetic or functional generalizations of species diversity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Macroevolution and the biological diversity of plants and herbivores
TL;DR: In this article, the processes that have generated the spectacular diversity of flowering plants (>300,000 species) and insect herbivores (likely > 1 million species) are addressed.
