Rare species do not disproportionately contribute to phylogenetic diversity in a subalpine plant community
Abstract
We found that rare species, whether at low abundance or with a small range, do not disproportionately contribute to phylogenetic diversity in our subalpine plant community. These results were consistent across elevations. Instead, rare species might provide phylogenetic redundancy with common species. Deeper understanding of functional differentiation is needed to understand contributions of rare species to this system.
