Biodiversity Conservation and Phylogenetic Systematics

Fig. 5 A little over 50 % of the variation in the sites’ top and second top scores is explained by
species richness ( upper fi gure part ). There is also still a dependency between species richness and
the site scores when these are standardised by the number of phylogenies, suggesting that species
rich sites also have more species with high WS values ( lower fi gure part )
