Tetrapods on the EDGE: Overcoming data limitations to identify phylogenetic conservation priorities.
The scale of the ongoing biodiversity crisis requires both effective conservation prioritisation and urgent action. As extinction is non-random across the tree of life, it is important to prioritise threatened species which represent large amounts of evolutionary history. The EDGE metric prioritises...
