  1. Activity 9 Studying Lineages For Conservation

  2. What types of biodiversity have you learned about so far?

  3. Read the introduction. • Phylogeneticdiversity is the variation between taxa on a tree.

  4. Challenge • How does evidence about phylogenetic relationships assist evolutionary biologists and conservationists in making sustainable conservation decisions?

  5. Procedure

  6. Phylogenetic Diversity of Lemurs

  7. Analysis 2 • a. How would you prioritize the four areas suggested for conservation on Madagascar? Consider evidence from the activity to rank them, and explain your reasoning. • b. Suppose you have enough funds to protect the area that you assigned the highest priority in your ranking. What are the trade-offs of your decision?

  8. Revisit the Challenge • How does evidence about phylogenetic relationships assist evolutionary biologists and conservationists in making sustainable conservation decisions?

  9. Key Vocabulary • endemic • evidence • evolutionary tree • hot spot • lineage • phylogenetic diversity • species diversity • trade-off • tree
