Taxon Selection under Split Diversity.
The "phylogenetic diversity" (PD) measure of biodiversity is evaluated using a phylogenetic tree, usually inferred from morphological or molecular data. Consequently, it is vulnerable to errors in that tree, including those resulting from sampling error, model misspecification, or conflicting signals. To improve the robustness of PD, we can evaluate the measure using either a collection (or dis...
متن کاملResource-aware taxon selection for maximizing phylogenetic diversity.
Phylogenetic diversity (PD) is a useful metric for selecting taxa in a range of biological applications, for example, bioconservation and genomics, where the selection is usually constrained by the limited availability of resources. We formalize taxon selection as a conceptually simple optimization problem, aiming to maximize PD subject to resource constraints. This allows us to take into accou...
متن کاملPhylogenetic Diversity on Split Networks
In biodiversity conservation, one is interested in selecting a subset of taxa for preservation priority. Phylogenetic diversity (PD) provides a quantitative measure for taxon selection on phylogenetic trees. In particular, PD is the total length of the minimal subtree induced by the selected taxa. Recently, it has been shown that on trees the maximal PD score and the corresponding subset of tax...
متن کاملCoalescence and genetic diversity in sexual populations under selection.
In sexual populations, selection operates neither on the whole genome, which is repeatedly taken apart and reassembled by recombination, nor on individual alleles that are tightly linked to the chromosomal neighborhood. The resulting interference between linked alleles reduces the efficiency of selection and distorts patterns of genetic diversity. Inference of evolutionary history from diversit...
متن کاملA Cross-Taxon Analysis of Insect-Associated Bacterial Diversity
Although it is well known that plants and animals harbor microbial symbionts that can influence host traits, the factors regulating the structure of these microbial communities often remain largely undetermined. This is particularly true for insect-associated microbial communities, as few cross-taxon comparisons have been conducted to date. To address this knowledge gap and determine how host p...
