Spaces of phylogenetic diversity indices: combinatorial and geometric properties

The paper defines phylogenetic diversity indices on rooted trees, showing they form a convex space with extremal points determined by tree shape and generalizing existing indices.

Phylogenetic Biodiversity Metrics Should Account for Both Accumulation and Attrition of Evolutionary Heritage

This paper introduces EvoHeritage, a new phylogenetic biodiversity metric that accounts for both accumulation and attrition of evolutionary features, showing it better predicts community productivity and identifies living fossils than traditional metrics.

The robustness of phylogenetic diversity indices to extinctions

This paper examines how phylogenetic diversity indices behave under extinction scenarios, showing that rankings can reverse for a broad class of indices.
