It has been argued that the loss of phylogenetic diversity (PD) from species extinctions will result in concomitant loss of functional diversity (FD). As a result, species extinction undermines not only unique evolutionary history, but also ecosystem function and stability. Using data from > 6,000 amphibian species globally, we assess the potential erosion of PD and FD as a result of extinction.

灭绝导致两栖动物系统发育和功能多样性的解耦侵蚀

有人认为，物种灭绝造成的系统发育多样性（PD）丧失将导致功能多样性（FD）随之丧失。结果，物种灭绝不仅破坏了独特的进化史，而且破坏了生态系统的功能和稳定性。使用来自全球超过6,000种两栖动物的数据，我们评估了物种灭绝对PD和FD的潜在侵蚀。
