The team calculated how the current evolutionary diversity of Halle's flora would change if, firstly, the plants found in Halle listed on the Red List of endangered species disappeared and, secondly, the most common introduced species in Germany which are not yet found in Halle were to migrate there.

As the loss of evolutionary diversity in Halle is primarily being driven by the loss of native species — including many species which depend on cool, nutrient - poor environments — Sonja Knapp and her colleagues are calling for more protection for these species and their habitats.

The resulting data set of 48 consistently annotated bird genomes spans 32 of the 35 recently proposed avian orders, * including all 30 neognath orders, and thus represents a wide range of avian evolutionary diversity. (science.sciencemag.org)
