This paper provides guidelines for calculating the EDGE index at the national level to monitor extinction risks of evolutionarily distinct species and highlights trends in threatened species.

The paper shows that intermediate abundance maximizes speciation probability under limited dispersal, supported by empirical analysis of Hawaiian arthropod data.

This paper develops efficient date interpolation algorithms to fully date a large phylogenetic tree, enabling robust estimates of phylogenetic diversity across 2.3 million species.

This study identifies priority crayfish species for conservation based on phylogenetic diversity and climate change vulnerability, finding that protecting these species could safeguard significant evolutionary history.

This paper reviews biodiversity monitoring methods over 22 years, finding increasing use of scalable techniques but persistent spatial and taxonomic biases.

The paper examines the relationship between evolutionary age and range size in species, finding that age correlates with larger ranges but this effect is modulated by insularity and dispersal ability.

The paper estimates Phylogenetic Diversity (PD) across the complete tree of life using 2.2 million species and calculates Evolutionary Distinctiveness and EDGE scores for over 130,000 species.

The paper assesses angiosperm evolutionary history at risk of extinction and identifies conservation priorities using phylogenetic trees and extinction risk estimates.

This paper introduces a metric called FIRE to prioritize conservation of functionally irreplaceable species at risk of extinction by integrating trait data and extinction risk.

This paper calculates continuous extinction risk from historical IUCN Red List data, revealing that species attributes like taxonomy, body size, and habitat specialism influence risk beyond the current categorical assessments.

This paper models the thermal niche of Atlantic salmon to predict how climate and resource changes affect population fitness.
