This book is about phylogenetic diversity as an approach to reduce
biodiversity losses in this period of mass extinction. Chapters in
the first section deal with questions such as the way we value
phylogenetic diversity among other criteria for biodiversity
conservation; the choice of measures; the loss of phylogenetic
diversity with extinction; the importance of organisms that are
deeply branched in the tree of life, and the role of relict
species. The second section is composed by contributions exploring
methodological aspects, such as how to deal with abundance,
sampling effort, or conflicting trees in analysis of phylogenetic
diversity. The last section is devoted to applications, showing how
phylogenetic diversity can be integrated in systematic conservation
planning, in EDGE and HEDGE evaluations. This wide coverage makes
the book a reference for academics, policy makers and stakeholders
dealing with biodiversity conservation.
