Phylogenetic diversity - Wikipedia
WEBPhylogenetic diversity is a measure of biodiversity that incorporates evolutionary difference between species. Learn how it is defined, calculated, and used in conservation planning, and see examples of phylogenetic diversity in different regions.
Phylogenetic diversity is a better measure of biodiversity than …
WEBJun 8, 2018 · Phylogenetic diversity (PD), a measurement of the branch lengths in a phylogenetic tree, is a better measure of biodiversity that provides a comparable, evolutionary measure of biodiversity not possible with species counts. Despite its advantages, PD is rarely used as the primary measure of biodiversity.

WEBJul 26, 2023 · Phylogenetic diversity provides substantially deeper insights into total ‘feature diversity’ than simple species counts (Faith, 1994). It captures both the evolutionary past and possible future evolutionary potential in a region, as well as the ‘option value’ of biodiversity for future human uses.
Facets of phylodiversity: evolutionary diversification, divergence …
WEBNov 19, 2018 · Biodiversity is often described as having multiple facets, including species richness, functional diversity and phylogenetic diversity. In this paper, we argue that phylogenetic diversity itself has three distinct facets—lineage diversification, character divergence and survival time—that can be quantified using distinct branch length ...
