On islands, evolutionary but not functional originality is rare [PREPRINT].
Functionally and evolutionary original species are those whose traits or evolutionary history are shared by few others in a given set. These original species promote ecosystem multifunctionality, the ability to cope with an uncertain future, future benefits to society and therefore have a high conservation value. A potential signal of...Evolution, Extinction risks, Endemism, and Islands
