Phylogenetic niche conservatism: what are the underlying evolutionary and ecological causes?

The New phytologist - 1 Nov 2012

Crisp Michael D, Cook Lyn G

Abstract excerpt

Phylogenetic niche conservatism (PNC) is the tendency of lineages to retain their niche-related traits through speciation events. A recent surge in the availability of well-sampled molecular phylogenies has stimulated phylogenetic approaches to understanding ecological processes at large geographical scales and through macroevolutionary time. We stress that PNC is a pattern, not a process, and is found only in...
