Table 3 Level of phylogenetic clustering of plant species selected from global species pool (No. species) to meet restoration targets for two criteria: 1) maximise bee species richness, or 2) bee visitation rates.

From: Pollinator restoration in Brazilian ecosystems relies on a small but phylogenetically-diverse set of plant families

  1. Phylogenetic structure assessed by negative Net Relatedness Index (NRI) and negative Nearest Taxon Index (NTI). In both cases, negative scores indicate observed sample is more phylogenetically clustered than expected values derived from weighted null models (α = 0.025). Results are presented from full networks and those excluding visits by honeybees (A. mellifera).
