Optimal Inventorying and Monitoring of Taxon, Phylogenetic and Functional Diversity
1. Inventorying requires comprehensive sampling, while monitoring should build on it and focus on as few components as possible to detect changes in time or space. To sample or acquire information for both purposes can therefore be viewed as different processes, herewith called α-sampling and β-sampling. Biodiversity covers species, their genetic diversity and the way they interact in communiti...
متن کاملPhylogenetic and functional diversity in large carnivore 1 assemblages
Large terrestrial carnivores are important ecological components and 11 prominent flagship species, but are often extinction prone due to a combination of 12 biological traits and high levels of human persecution. This study combines 13 phylogenetic and functional diversity evaluations of global and continental large 14 carnivore assemblages to provide a framework for conservation prioritizatio...

متن کاملCyanobacterial nitrogenases: phylogenetic diversity, regulation and functional predictions
Cyanobacteria is a remarkable group of prokaryotic photosynthetic microorganisms, with several genera capable of fixing atmospheric nitrogen (N2) and presenting a wide range of morphologies. Although the nitrogenase complex is not present in all cyanobacterial taxa, it is spread across several cyanobacterial strains. The nitrogenase complex has also a high theoretical potential for biofuel prod...
متن کاملUnderstanding global patterns of mammalian functional and phylogenetic diversity.
Documenting and exploring the patterns of diversity of life on Earth has always been a central theme in biology. Species richness despite being the most commonly used measure of diversity in macroecological studies suffers from not considering the evolutionary and ecological differences among species. Phylogenetic diversity (PD) and functional diversity (FD) have been proposed as alternative me...
