Phylogenetic niche conservatism does not explain elevational patterns of species richness, phylodiversity and family age of tree assemblages in andean rainforest

Phylogenetic niche conservatism (PNC) is the tendency of species within a clade to retain ancestral traits and to persist in their primary ecological niches on geological time scales. It links evolutionary and ecological processes and has been hypothesized to explain patterns of species richness and...
