Changes in abundance, fitness, or some fitness component (growth, feeding rate, body size, survival). Topics for today. Central question in community ecology. What processes are responsible for the identity and relative abundances of co-occurring species in local assemblages?. What is the relative importance of different ecological processes in structuring communities. 9. Studying . Lineages. For Conservation. What types of biodiversity have you learned about so far?. Phylogenetic. . diversity. is the variation between taxa on a tree.. Read the introduction.. How does evidence about phylogenetic relationships assist evolutionary biologists and conservationists in making sustainable conservation decisions?. Haeckel’s evolutionary trees are among the first attempts at phylogeny inference.. Darwin’s tree. Schools of thought. A. Evolutionary Taxonomy. The basic view was that the best way to reconstruct the phylogeny of a group is to spend a lifetime learning everything one can about the biology of the group.. Dr Laura Emery .
