Abstract Island systems are among the most vulnerable to climate change, which is predicted induce shifts in temperature, rainfall and/or sea levels. Our aim was: (i) map relative vulnerability of islands each these threats from change on a worldwide scale; (ii) estimate how island would impact phylogenetic diversity. We focused monocotyledons, major group flowering plants that includes taxa important economic value such as palms, grasses, bananas, taro. Islands were found at all latitudes,...

Various prioritisation strategies have been developed to cope with accelerating biodiversity loss and limited conservation resources. These could become more engaging for decision-makers if they reflected the positive effects can on future projected biodiversity, by targeting net outcomes in rather than reflecting negative consequences of further losses only. Hoping inform post-2020 framework, we here apply this approach phylogenetic diversity (PD) re-identify species areas interest...

Abstract Islands have remarkable levels of endemism and contribute greatly to global biodiversity. Establishing the age island endemics is important gain insights into processes that shaped biodiversity patterns biota. We investigated relative monocots across islands worldwide, using different measures phylogenetic tested against null models. compiled a species occurrence dataset 4,306 islands, identified 142 sites with neo-, paleo-, mixed super-endemism. These were distributed world,...

Changes in species concepts and the rapid advances DNA-based taxonomy phylogeny of past decades have led to increasing splits single into several new species. The consequences such include delineation post-split that may restricted ranges potentially increased extinction risks. Species splitting also leads a re-evaluation phylogenetic trees, with trees having more species, but are less evolutionarily distinctive compared pre-split trees. Such changes risks distinctiveness influence...

Abstract The field of biodiversity conservation has recently been criticized as relying on a fixist view the living world in which existing species constitute at same time targets efforts and static states reference, is apparent disagreement with evolutionary dynamics. We reviewed prominent role units common benchmark approach to that aims use past reference conserve current biodiversity. found justified by discrepancy between scales macroevolution human influence benchmarks are based...

Abstract There is an increasing interest in measuring loss of phylogenetic diversity and evolutionary distinctiveness which together depict the history conservation interest. Those losses are assessed through relationships between species threat status or extinction probabilities. Yet, available information not always sufficient to quantify that then classified as data deficient. Data‐deficient a crucial issue they cause incomplete assessments distinctiveness. We aimed explore potential bias...

Phylogenetic diversity and evolutionary distinctiveness are highly valuable components of biodiversity, but they rarely considered in conservation practices. Focusing on a biodiversity hotspot, the Mediterranean Basin, we aimed to identify those areas where history is threatened range-restricted region. Using null models, first compared spatial distributions three indices: two measured history—Expected PDloss Heightened Evolutionary Global Endangerment—and one endemic...

Abstract At their early age, a large proportion of island pools were partial sampling mainland whatever islands are oceanic or fragments the mainland. Through time, colonization, diversification, extinctions, have deeply transformed insular and continental communities therefore degree to which they share species. We studied relative importance these mechanisms by looking at shared evolutionary history between species on continents. Indeed, most not neutral regarding phylogeny but linked...

Abstract Curbing biodiversity loss and its impact on ecosystem services, resilience Nature’s Contributions to People is one of the main challenges our generation (IPBES, 2019b, 2019a; Secretariat United Nations Convention Biological Diversity, 2020). A global baseline assessment threat status all crucial monitor progress conservation policies worldwide (Mace & al., 2000; 2021) target priority areas for (Walker 2021). However, magnitude task seems insurmountable, as even listing organisms...

Abstract Functionally and evolutionary original species are those whose traits or history shared by few others in a given set. These promote ecosystem multifunctionality, the ability to cope with an uncertain future, future benefits society therefore have high conservation value. A potential signal of their extinction risks is rarity (stating for geographic range-restriction this study). On islands, life isolation conducted rise multitude forms functions as well rates endemism. Not only...
