Questions How do ecological and evolutionary processes affect the phylogenetic alpha and beta diversity of angiosperm tree assemblages in an evolutionarily young coastal environment? Location Coastal vegetation of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest Domain (restingas), spanning 20° of latitude. Methods We...
