- Description:
- Phylogenetic diversity of terrestrial vertebrate species, by terrestrial ecoregion.
We calculated the phylogenetic diversity of vertebrate species by terrestrial ecoregion using Faith’s (1992) statistical model of PD = ?Dij, where PD is a phylogenetic diversity score, and ?Dij, is the sum of the pairwise distances for the minimum spanning distance among a selected set of species (i.e., the species occurring in an ecoregion) on a taxic cladogram of all vertebrate species worldwide, using WWF’s WildFinder database.
These data were derived by The Nature Conservancy, and were displayed in a map published in The Atlas of Global Conservation (Hoekstra et al., University of California Press, 2010). More information at http://nature.org/atlas.
