Conserving Evolutionarily Distinct Species is Critical to Safeguard Human Well-Being

2021-05-27

Abstract excerpt

Although there is growing interest in safeguarding the Tree of Life to preserve the human benefits that are directly provided by biodiversity, their evolutionary distribution remains unknown, which has hampered our understanding of the potential of phylodiversity indicators to evince them. Here, I drew on a global review of plant services and comprehensive phylogenetic information to breakdown their evolutionary d...
