How much evolutionary history in a 10 x 10 m plot?

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 May 2006

Procheş Serban, Wilson John R U, Cowling Richard M

Abstract excerpt

We use a fully dated phylogenetic tree of the angiosperm families to calculate phylogenetic diversity (PD) in four South African vegetation types with distinct evolutionary histories. Since the branch length values are in this case represented by the ages of plant lineages, PD becomes the cumulative evolutionary age (CEA) of assemblages. Unsurprisingly, total CEA increases with family and with species diversity...
