Influence of phylogenetic scale on the relationships of taxonomic and phylogenetic turnovers with environment for angiosperms in China.

ABSTRACT: We aim to assess the influence of phylogenetic scale on the relationships of taxonomic and phylogenetic turnovers with environment for angiosperms in China. Specifically, we quantify the effects of contemporary climate on β-diversity at different phylogenetic scales representing different evolutionary depths of angiosperms. We sampled a latitudinal gradient and a longitudinal gradient of angiosperm assemblages across China (each ≥3400 km). Species composition in each assemblage was documented. Three metrics of β-diversity (β_sim.tax measuring taxonomic β-diversity; β_sim.phy and D_pw measuring tip- and basal-weighted phylogenetic β-diversity, respectively) were quantified among assemblages at sequential depths in the evolutionary history of angiosperms from th
