Evolutionary Distinctiveness and EDGE scores for mammals. This table shows Evolutionary Distinctiveness (ED) and EDGE scores for all species included in the mammal supertree [31] ranked by their EDGE score. Species that could not be assigned EDGE scores are appended to the bottom of the list, sorted by status and ED score. Species taxonomy follows Wilson & Reeder [35]. Red List categories follow the 2006 IUCN Red List [2]: CR = Critically Endangered, EN = Endangered, VU = Vulnerable, NT = Near Threatened, LC = Least Concern, CD = Conservation Dependent, DD = Data Deficient, NE = Not Evaluated. The NE category includes species in Wilson & Reeder [35] that could not be matched with any species or subspecies names in the Red List.

Question

Evolutionary Distinctiveness and EDGE scores for mammals. This table shows Evolutionary Distinctiveness (ED) and EDGE scores for all species included in the mammal supertree [31] ranked by their EDGE score. Species that could not be assigned EDGE scores are appended to the bottom of the list, sorted by status and ED score. Species taxonomy follows Wilson & Reeder [35]. Red List categories follow the 2006 IUCN Red List [2]: CR = Critically Endangered, EN = Endangered, VU = Vulnerable, NT = Near Threatened, LC = Least Concern, CD = Conservation Dependent, DD = Data Deficient, NE = Not Evaluated. The NE category includes species in Wilson & Reeder [35] that could not be matched with any species or subspecies names in the Red List.

Table S2
Evolutionary Distinctiveness for primates under two species concepts. This table lists ED scores for primates under the biological species concept i[.e. the taxonomy of ref 35], the number of phylogenetic species into which the biological species was split [36] and the estimated ED score of each phylogenetic species. See Materials and Methods for further information. ED scores are lower for phylogenetic species than biological species, even for taxa whose taxonomic status is the same under both concepts (i.e. the number of phylogenetic species is one). This occurs because the total number of species in the phylogeny is greater, so each receives a smaller share of the distinctiveness of ancestral branches. ED scores were calculated using just one set of branch lengths (the ‘best’ set), so differ from those in table S1.

GPT 3.5 · Answer

- The table shows Evolutionary Distinctiveness (ED) and EDGE scores for mammal species.
- The species are ranked by their EDGE score, which is a measure of their conservation priority.
- The species taxonomy follows Wilson & Reeder.
- Red List categories are used to classify the conservation status of each species.
- Some species could not be assigned EDGE scores and are listed at the bottom of the table.
- There is also a table specifically for primates, which includes ED scores under the biological species concept and the number of phylogenetic species into which each biological species was split.
- ED scores are lower for phylogenetic species compared to biological species, even if their taxonomic status is the same under both concepts.
- This is because there are more total species in the phylogeny, so each one receives a smaller share of the ancestral branches' distinctiveness.
- The ED scores in the tables were calculated using one set of branch lengths.
