The conservation of evolutionary history has been linked to increased benefits for humanity and can be captured by phylogenetic diversity (PD). Evolutionarily Distinct Globally Endangered (EDGE) metric has, since 2007, used prioritise threatened species practical that embody large amounts history. While there have important research advances they not adopted in practice because a lack consensus the community. Here, building from an interdisciplinary workshop update existing EDGE approach, we...
Abstract Human-driven extinction threatens entire lineages across the Tree of Life. Here we assess conservation status jawed vertebrate evolutionary history, using three policy-relevant approaches. First, calculate an index threat to overall showing that expect lose 86–150 billion years (11–19%) history over next 50–500 years. Second, rank species by their EDGE scores identify highest priorities for species-focused finding chondrichthyans, ray-finned fish and testudines all vertebrates....
Abstract The global biodiversity crisis threatens the natural world and its capacity to provide benefits humans into future. conservation of evolutionary history, captured by measure phylogenetic diversity (PD), is linked maintenance these future options. Evolutionarily Distinct Globally Endangered (EDGE) metric has, since 2007, been used identify species for action that embody large amounts threatened history. In 2017, we convened a workshop update EDGE incorporate advances in field...
Abstract Human-driven extinction threatens entire lineages across the Tree of Life. Here we assess conservation status jawed vertebrate evolutionary history, using three policy-relevant approaches. First, calculate an index threat to overall showing that expect lose 86-150 billion years (11-19%) history over next 50-500 years. Second, rank species by their EDGE scores identify best opportunities for species-focused history. Third, families. We found within monotypic families are more likely...
