Comparative Analyses and Phylogenetic Dependence in Traits and Trends of the Dipterocarpaceae by Nazrin Malik, David Edwards, Robert P. Freckleton

“…Here, we focus on the Dipterocarpaceae, the key plant family underpinning the hyperdiversity of South‐East Asian tropical forest canopies and of major conservation concern due to over‐exploitation for timber, cultivation, and climate change. Our objectives are to (i) assess whether dipterocarp species traits are phylogenetically conserved through a phylogenetic signal, indicating phylogenetic niche conservatism (PNC); (ii) determine the drivers of dipterocarp species distribution; (iii) examine the relationship between morphological traits with habitat factors; and (iv) assess the correlation between conservation status and phylogeny. …”
