Conserve IV Description

The Conserve application was designed for assessing and prioritorizing conservation schemes based on phylogenies. While it would be best to preserve all species and populations, in the management of biodiversity it is often necessary to perform a triage. Decisions must be made as to which populations, species and habitats should be given the highest priority. Other things being equal, these priorities should be set on the basis of evolutionary distinctiveness, and Conserve enables you to do this using genetic distances and also to test whether particular assemblages of populations preserve statistically significantly more biodiversity than other assemblages.
