Rapid climate change results in long-lasting spatial homogenization of phylogenetic diversity
B. Saladin, L. Pellissier, et al.
This study by Bianca Saladin, Loïc Pellissier, Catherine H. Graham, Michael P. Nobis, Nicolas Salamin, and Niklaus E. Zimmermann uncovers the alarming homogenization of phylogenetic diversity in European seed plants, driven by rapid climate change. The findings indicate that what we are witnessing today may only be a precursor to even greater losses in evolutionary heritage as climate change continues to accelerate.
