Landscape Patterns in Rainforest Phylogenetic Signal: Isolated Islands of Refugia or Structured Continental Distributions?
Figure 2
Phylogenetic diversity patterns.
Phylogenetic Diversity (PD) and Phylogenetic Endemism (PE) values for 50×50 km grid cells for all woody plants combined, and for two growth forms representing freestanding (trees and shrubs), and climbing (vines) plants. For clarity of presentation cells are clipped to the coastline and off-shore islands are not displayed. Darker colours (red to black) and higher values reflect greater concentrations of evolutionary diversity, particularly for PE. PD is highly correlated with species richness so can also be read as a ‘heat map’ for richness.
