    Question
    To better understand the influence of deep-time diversification on extant plant communities, we assessed how community dissimilarity increases with spatial and climatic distances at multiple taxonomic ranks (species, genus, family, and order) in angiosperm trees. We tested the prediction that the dissimilarity–distance relationship should change across taxonomic ranks depending on the deep-time diversification in different biogeographical regions reflecting geohistories and geographical settings.

    Location
    Global.

    Methods
    Using a data set of plot-based surveys across the globe (861 plots), we compiled a community composition matrix comprising 21,455 species, 2,741 genera, 240 families, and 57 orders. We then calculated Sørensen's pairwise dissimilarity (βsor), and its turnover (βsim) and nestedness (βsne) components, among plots within seven biogeographical regions. Finally, we modeled the relationships between the biotic dissimilarities and the spatial/climatic distances at each taxonomic rank, and compared them among regions.

    Results
    βsor and βsim increased with increasing spatial and climatic distance in all biogeographical regions: βsim was dominant in all biogeographical regions in general, while βsne showed relatively high contributions to total dissimilarity in the temperate regions with historically unstable climatic conditions. The βsim-distance curve was more saturated at smaller spatial scales in the tropics than in the temperate regions. In general, the curves became flatter at higher taxonomic ranks (order or family), with the exception of Africa, North America, and Australia, pointing to region-specific geographical constraints.

    Conclusions
    Compositional dissimilarity was generally shaped through the abrupt turnover of species along spatial/climatic gradients. The relatively high importance of the nestedness component in the temperate regions suggests that historical dispersal filters related to extinction/colonization may play important roles. Region-specific changes in the turnover and nestedness components across taxonomic ranks suggest differential imprints of historical diversification over deep evolutionary time in shaping extant diversity patterns in each biogeographical region.

    Abstract

    Questions

    Geographic gradients of beta‐diversity help understanding the relationship between species and their environment. However, on a global scale, such patterns are only known for a few taxa, mainly terrestrial vertebrates, especially when considering the phylogenetic dimension. Here, we present the first global analysis of phylogenetic beta‐diversity (PBD) for angiosperms. We aim to disentangle the relative contribution of PBD components (turnover‐ and nestedness‐resultant differences) and the deviation of PBD given the taxonomic beta‐diversity (TBD) along environmental and geographic gradients.

    Location

    Global.

    Methods

    We compiled range maps of 207,146 angiosperm species at 1° cells and calculated PBD for assemblages formed by each focal cell and its neighboring cells in radii of 1.5° and 2° (“moving‐window” approach). PBD was decomposed into turnover‐ and nestedness‐resultant components, evaluating their relative importance as the proportion of nestedness‐resultant PBD to the total PBD (PBDratio). To evaluate lineage exchanges, we calculated the deviation of PBD from TBD (PBDdev). We assessed the breakpoints of relationship between PBD and geographic (latitude and elevation) and environmental (temperature and precipitation) gradients using linear piecewise regressions.

    Results

    The turnover‐resultant component was predominant in shaping the global angiosperm PBD pattern. PBDratio was positively correlated with temperature, having a breakpoint around 14°. Because PBDdev was mostly positive, TBD prevailed over PBD; PBDdev was correlated significantly with latitude and temperature gradients, being higher (i.e., low lineage replacement compared with species replacement) at latitudes above 50° N, and in colder climates (below 2°C).

    Conclusions

    We provided the first global assessment of current geographic PBD patterns for angiosperms. Our results showed that such patterns are largely dictated by global environmental and geographic gradients, with lineage replacement being more important than lineage loss in virtually all areas, except at higher latitudes and on islands and peninsulas.

    本研究では, "TimeTree: the timescale of life"(TimeTree)を用いて生物多様性の進化的な背景を理解するための授業を実践し, その学習効果を検討した。TimeTree は, 2 種の生物が共通祖先から分岐した年代を調べることができるオンラインツールである。これを用いて様々な生物種間の系統樹を作成し, 生物の進化の産物である生物多様性の概念を理解できる授業を開発した。TimeTree の教材としての有効性を検証するため, 教養課程の大学1, 2 年生47名を対象に, 動物園で実習を行った。実習では, 学生にスマートフォンを用いてTimeTree を操作させ, 10種の動物種間および霊長類7種間の分岐年代を調べさせ, それを基に系統樹を作成させた。なお, 実習の前後に進化に関するクイズを行い, その学習効果を検討した。動物園での実習とクイズの正答率の結果から, 系統的思考法(tree thinking), 進化の時間スケール, 生物地理, 大進化に関する項目について有意な学習効果がみられた。ただし小進化や収斂進化については実習だけでは身につかず, 改善の余地があった。新指導要領による生物教育では進化や生物多様性が重要視されているものの, それらの理論や概念を学ぶことのできる教材が不足している。TimeTree を用いて系統樹を描く授業は, 高校や大学の教養教育で進化や生物多様性の理解を促進すると考えられる。
