Conserving Phylogenetic Diversity Can Be a Poor Strategy for Conserving Functional Diversity.
For decades, academic biologists have advocated for making conservation decisions in light of evolutionary history. Specifically, they suggest that policy makers should prioritize conserving phylogenetically diverse assemblages. The most prominent argument is that conserving phylogenetic diversity (PD) will also conserve diversity in traits and features (functional diversity [FD]), which may be...
متن کاملConserving Genetic Diversity in Rainbow Trout
Conserving genetic diversity is a major concern for north temperate fauna which are species poor but rich in genetic diversity. The problem is believed to be especially serious for freshwater fish where populations are isolated by barriers to migration. Isolation and low species diversity have been hypothesized to be the key ingredients in an adaptive radiation that has taken place in British C...
متن کاملA Sampling Strategy for Conserving Genetic Diversity when Forming Core Subsets
The grouping of accessions into clusters is achieved by a classification strategy that partitions the original colWhen forming core subsets, accessions from a collection are classilection into groups with maximum distances between fied into clusters, and then samples are drawn from the clusters with accessions located in different groups and minimum disthe aim of maintaining the diversity of th...
متن کاملThe price of conserving avian phylogenetic diversity: a global prioritization approach
The combination of rapid biodiversity loss and limited funds available for conservation represents a major global concern. While there are many approaches for conservation prioritization, few are framed as financial optimization problems. We use recently published avian data to conduct a global analysis of the financial resources required to conserve different quantities of phylogenetic diversi...
متن کاملConserving old-growth forest diversity in disturbance-prone landscapes.
A decade after its creation, the Northwest Forest Plan is contributing to the conservation of old-growth forests on federal land. However the success and outlook for the plan are questionable in the dry provinces, where losses of old growth to wildfire have been relatively high and risks of further loss remain. We summarize the state of knowledge of old-growth forests in the plan area, identify...
