Method synopsis

Calculation of multiple phylogenetic distance metrics (NND, MPD, INND, MIPD) using PHYDIST procedure to quantify relatedness of focal species to native community members.

Synthesized from method descriptions across 1 paper using this protocol.

Procedure from a recent peer-reviewed implementation

Steps below were extracted from the most recent peer-reviewed implementation of this protocol in the corpus — Phylogenetic distance can predict susceptibility to attack by natural enemies (2011), Oikos. Implementations in other papers (listed below) may differ.

1. Phylogenetic distance calculations
   Phylogenetic distances calculated using PHYDIST procedure in Phylocom. Four metrics calculated: NND (phylogenetic distance to nearest native neighbor), MPD (mean phylogenetic distance to all other native species), INND (inverse nearest neighbor distance), MIPD (mean inverse phylogenetic distance).
   Quantities: Distances calculated for all focal species to native community membersDuration: Not specifiedConditions: Computational analysis
   Equipment: PHYDIST procedure, Phylocom
