Imperilled phylogenetic endemism of Malagasy lemuriformes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Aim To highlight where in M adagascar the phylogenetically and spatially rare lemur species at risk of extinction are concentrated. Location Madagascar. Methods Phylogenetic endemism ( PE ) is a combined measure for apportioning a phylogenetic tree across a landscape used to identify those geographical locations that contain spatially rare phylogenetic diversity (Rosauer et al ., 2009). We present a simple extension (imperilled phylogenetic endemism) that scales this phylogenetic diversity by the probability of its loss to extinction. We apply these measures to a composite phylogeny of all confirmed M alagasy lemuriform species using I nternational U nion for C onservation of N ature ( IUCN ) extent of occurrence and threat status data. Results We find that, because nonimperilled species are scattered about the lemuriform tree, interior branches of the tree are still quite secure: this also means that areas of high phylogenetic endemism for M adagascar lemuriformes are often the same areas as those of high imperilled PE ( IPE ), as both are heavily weighted by branches nearer the tips. However, although the N orth of M adagascar holds the largest amount of spatially rare evolutionary history using both PE and IPE , there are additional pockets of imperilled history in the south and west. Main Conclusions Correlations of endemism and threat status with phylogenetic isolation are modest across lemurs and so are not substitutable conservation values. They might best be integrated on the landscape using IPE . As illustrated here, IPE successfully highlights areas containing species which are at once threatened with extinction and that are phylogenetically and spatially rare.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
