Ranking Mammal Species for Conservation and the Loss of Both Phylogenetic and Trait Diversity.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2015

Redding David W, Mooers Arne O

Abstract excerpt

The 'edge of existence' (EDGE) prioritisation scheme is a new approach to rank species for conservation attention that aims to identify species that are both isolated on the tree of life and at imminent risk of extinction as defined by the World Conservation Union (IUCN). The self-stated benefit of the EDGE system is that it effectively captures unusual 'unique' species, and doing so will preserve the total...
