The Role of the Phylogenetic Diversity Measure, PD, in Bio-informatics: Getting the Definition Right

Show other versions (1)

A recent paper in this journal (Faith and Baker, 2006) described bio-informatics challenges in the application of the PD (phylogenetic diversity) measure of Faith (1992a), and highlighted the use of the root of the phylogenetic tree, as implied by the original definition of PD. A response paper (Cro...
