Abstract

Graphical AbstractUsing the indices δ+ and δ* for assessing phylogenetic diversity may lead to spurious results and interpretations; it can bias recommendations for conservation and lead to inappropriate management decisions. Therefore these indices should be avoided and other indices based on quadratic entropy (Qδ+ and Q) should be used instead.
