Aim Biodiversity hotspots have important roles in conservation prioritisation, but efficient methods for selecting among them remain debated. Location Southern A frica. Methods In this study, we used data on the dated phylogeny and geographical distribution of 1400 tree species in southern A frica to map regional hotspots of species richness ( SR ), phylogenetic diversity ( PD ), phylogenetic endemism ( PE ), species endemism ( CWE ), and...
