Assembly of functional diversity in an oceanic island flora

M. P. Barajas Barbosa, D. Craven, P. Weigelt, P. Denelle, R. Otto, S. Diaz, J. Price, J. M. Fernandez-Palacios, H. Kreft

The paper analyzes the functional trait space of Tenerife's flora, finding that long-distance dispersal and speciation processes drive functional divergence, while cladogenesis leads to functional convergence.

Testing the phylogenetic gambit: how much functional diversity can we reliably conserve if we prioritize phylogenetic diversity?

F. Mazel, M. Pennell, M. Cadotte, S. Diaz, G. Dalla Riva, R. Grenyer, F. Leprieur, A. Mooers, D. Mouillot, C. Tucker, W. Pearse

The paper tests whether maximizing phylogenetic diversity (PD) reliably captures functional diversity (FD) across 15,000 vertebrate species, finding mixed results with an average 18% FD gain but also cases where PD sets had less FD than random selections.
