Phylogenetic patterns of extinction risk in the eastern arc ecosystems, an African biodiversity hotspot.
There is an urgent need to reduce drastically the rate at which biodiversity is declining worldwide. Phylogenetic methods are increasingly being recognised as providing a useful framework for predicting future losses, and guiding efforts for pre-emptive conservation actions. In this study, we used a...
