Comparison of bird diversity within and outside protected areas (PA) of Central Italy: are PAs protecting better species richness, functional diversity or evolutionary uniqueness in bird communities?
Abstract:
Diversity metrics estimated on species assemblages or communities are often used to measure and quantify the biodiversity in an area. Previously, it was common to only use indices such as species richness and abundance. However, in recent years popularity has increased using functional, taxonomic, and phylogenetic diversity metrics in order to determine the effectiveness of areas protecting biodiversity …more
