EDGE2: advancing the prioritisation of threatened evolutionary history for conservation action

R. Gumbs, C. L. Gray, M. Bohm, I. J. Burfield, O. R. Couchman, D. P. Faith, F. Forest, M. Hoffmann, N. J. B. Isaac, W. Jetz, G. M. Mace, A. O. Mooers, K. Safi, O. Scott, M. Steel, , J. Rosindell

The paper introduces EDGE2, an updated metric for prioritizing species with threatened evolutionary history, showing it prioritizes species with fewer close relatives more than the original EDGE method.

Conserving evolutionary history to safeguard our future: incorporating the Tree of Life into biodiversity policy

R. Gumbs, A. Chaudhary, B. H. Daru, D. P. Faith, F. Forest, C. L. Gray, A. Kowalska, W.-S. Lee, R. Pellens, S. Pipins, L. J. Pollock, J. Rosindell, R. A. Scherson, N. R. Owen

The paper advocates for incorporating the Tree of Life into biodiversity policy to preserve nature's contributions to people and prevent extinction, proposing two indicators for monitoring progress.

Poor protection of amphibian evolutionary history reveals opportunities for global protected areas

J. Upton, C. L. Gray, B. Tapley, K. A. Murray, R. Gumbs

The paper assesses how well the global protected area network conserves amphibian evolutionary history and identifies opportunities for improvement.

Global priorities for conservation of reptilian phylogenetic diversity in the face of human impacts

R. Gumbs, C. L. Gray, M. Bohm, M. Hoffmann, R. Grenyer, W. Jetz, S. Meiri, U. Roll, N. R. Owen, J. Rosindell

The paper develops metrics combining phylogenetic diversity and human impact for reptile conservation, finding high human impact areas coincide with high reptilian diversity and identifying data-deficient species as high priority.

Tetrapods on the EDGE: Overcoming data limitations to identify phylogenetic conservation priorities

R. Gumbs, C. L. Gray, O. R. Wearn, N. R. Owen

The paper develops a new method to impute evolutionary distinctiveness scores for missing species in phylogenies and applies it to tetrapods to update EDGE conservation priorities.
