Edge-related loss of tree phylogenetic diversity in the severely fragmented Brazilian Atlantic forest.

Edge-related loss of tree phylogenetic diversity in the severely fragmented Brazilian Atlantic forest.

Deforestation and forest fragmentation are known major causes of nonrandom extinction, but there is no information about their impact on the phylogenetic diversity of the remaining species assemblages. Using a large vegetation dataset from an old hyper-fragmented landscape in the Brazilian Atlantic...
