Among PBD measures, the PhyloSor and UniFrac indices have been widely used to assess the level of turnover of lineages over geographical and environmental gradients. However, these indices can be considered as ‘broad-sense’ measures of phylogenetic turnover as they incorporate different aspects of differences in evolutionary history between communities that may be attributable to phylogenetic diversity gradients. In the present study, we extend an additive partitioning framework proposed for compositional beta diversity to PBD. Specifically, we decomposed the PhyloSor and UniFrac indices into two separate components accounting for ‘true’ phylogenetic turnover and phylogenetic diversity gradients, respectively. We illustrated the relevance of this framework using simple theoretical and archetypal examples, as well as an empirical study based on coral reef fish communities. Overall, our results suggest that using PhyloSor and UniFrac may greatly over-estimate the level of spatial turnover of lineages if the two compared communities show contrasting levels of phylogenetic diversity. We therefore recommend that future studies use the ‘true’ phylogenetic turnover component of these indices when the studied communities encompass a large phylogenetic diversity gradient.</p></div></front><back><div1 type="bibliography"><listBibl><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Webb, Co" uniqKey="Webb C">CO Webb</name></author><author><name sortKey="Ackerly, Dd"

Among PBD measures, the PhyloSor and UniFrac indices have been widely used to assess the level of turnover of lineages over geographical and environmental gradients. However, these indices can be considered as ‘broad-sense’ measures of phylogenetic turnover as they incorporate different aspects of differences in evolutionary history between communities that may be attributable to phylogenetic diversity gradients. In the present study, we extend an additive partitioning framework proposed for compositional beta diversity to PBD. Specifically, we decomposed the PhyloSor and UniFrac indices into two separate components accounting for ‘true’ phylogenetic turnover and phylogenetic diversity gradients, respectively. We illustrated the relevance of this framework using simple theoretical and archetypal examples, as well as an empirical study based on coral reef fish communities. Overall, our results suggest that using PhyloSor and UniFrac may greatly over-estimate the level of spatial turnover of lineages if the two compared communities show contrasting levels of phylogenetic diversity. We therefore recommend that future studies use the ‘true’ phylogenetic turnover component of these indices when the studied communities encompass a large phylogenetic diversity gradient.</p></abstract><funding-group><funding-statement>D.M. was supported by a Marie Curie International Outgoing Fellowship (FISHECO) with agreement number IOF-GA-2009-236316.

For instance, the UniFrac index is expressed as the total branch length unique to each community relative to the total branch length linking all species in both communities and hence measures the proportion of evolutionary history unique to each community <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-Lozupone1">[12]</xref>.</p><p>Numerous studies have employed the PhyloSor and UniFrac indices to explore the spatial turnover of lineages over large spatial scales <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-Graham1">[3]</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-Morlon1">[10]</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-Faith2">[13]</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-Nipperess1">[15]</xref>. However, these indices are fundamentally based on ‘broad-sense’ measures of compositional beta diversity (CBD) that do not adjust for differences in composition attributable to richness gradients <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-Koleff1">[16]</xref>. Consequently, the compositional differences arising from differences in species richness (species loss or gain associated with nestedness) cannot be distinguished from differences in species composition that are independent of species richness (‘true’ species turnover that involves species replacement) <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-Baselga1">[17]</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-Baselga2">[19]</xref>.

This is because spatial turnover of species and nestedness of assemblages are two antithetic phenomena that are caused by different processes <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-Leprieur1">[18]</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-Svenning1">[20]</xref>.

Recent studies distinguishing between the ‘true’ turnover and nestedness components of CBD provided new insights into the mechanisms that drive CBD at large spatial scales <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-Svenning1">[20]</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-Baselga3">[24]</xref>.</p><p>As for their taxonomic-based relatives, the PhyloSor and UniFrac indices can be both considered as ‘broad-sense’ measures of phylogenetic turnover (i.e. incorporating differences in evolutionary history between communities attributable to phylogenetic diversity gradients).

To illustrate this decomposition, we used theoretical and archetypal examples. We also generated a large number of simulated communities from two contrasted types of phylogenetic tree, i.e. using either PDA (proportional-to-distinguishable arrangements) or Yule model. Finally, we used coral reef fish as a biological model to exemplify the relevance of distinguishing between ‘true’ phylogenetic turnover and phylogenetic diversity gradients when analysing large-scale patterns of PBD with marked differences in species richness and phylogenetic diversity.</p></sec><sec id="s2"><title>Distinguishing between Phylogenetic Diversity Gradients and Spatial Turnover of Lineages: Formulations</title><p>Using an additive partitioning framework, Baselga <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-Baselga2">[19]</xref> provided two separate components of species turnover and nestedness underlying the total amount of CBD.

The first two examples (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0042760-g001">Fig. 1a and 1b</xref>, respectively) show two communities (A and B) that have no species in common (β<sub>sor</sub> = β<sub>sim</sub> = 1 and β<sub>sne</sub> = 0). However, communities A and B (example 1, <xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0042760-g001">Fig. 1a</xref>.) display distantly related species, hence indicating locally phylogenetically clustered communities that have high PBD (PhyloSor = 1, i.e. the two communities compared do not share evolutionary history). In contrast, communities A and B illustrating the example 2 (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0042760-g001">Fig. 1b</xref>) display closely related species, hence indicating locally phylogenetically overdispersed communities that have little PBD (PhyloSor = 0.4, i.e. the two communities share a large amount of evolutionary history). For both examples, PhyloSor = PhySor<sub>Turn</sub> as PhySor<sub>PD</sub> = 0. For the first example, the PD component of PBD is zero because the two communities do not share any branch length and also display a similar level of PD (PD<sub>A</sub> = PD<sub>B</sub> = 7, see <xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0042760-g001">Fig. 1a</xref>). For the second example, the PD component of PBD is zero only because the two communities compared display the same level of PD (PD<sub>A</sub> = PD<sub>B</sub> = 10, see <xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0042760-g001">Fig. 1b</xref>). Indeed, if we reconsider the example 2 with two communities having slightly unequal levels of PD (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0042760-g001">Fig. 1c</xref>, PD<sub>A</sub> = 10 and PD<sub>B</sub> = 9), the overall level of PBD (PhyloSor = 0.421) is found to be different from the turnover component of PBD (PhySor<sub>Turn</sub> = 0.388). The difference between the two indices (expressed as PhySor<sub>PD</sub>) quantifies the amount of PBD caused by a difference in PD between the two communities.</p><fig id="pone-0042760-g001" orientation="portrait" position="float"><object-id pub-id-type="doi">10.1371/journal.pone.0042760.g001</object-id><label>Figure 1</label><caption><title>Three simple examples of phylogenetic tree associated to a pair of communities.</title><p>Each community is composed of four species.

To do so, we simulated the phylogenetic relatedness among species by creating two types of regional phylogenetic trees <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-Mouchet1">[33]</xref>, the former being generated from the PDA (proportional-to-distinguishable arrangements) model and the latter generated from the Yule model (see <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="pone.0042760.s001">Fig. S1</xref>). Specifically, we aimed at testing the influence of phylogenetic tree structure (i.e. balanced vs. unbalanced trees) on the turnover and PD components of PBD. A phylogenetic tree generated under PDA (proportional-to-distinguishable arrangements) model tends to be more unbalanced than observed phylogenies because all trees with the same number of tips (i.e. species) are equally likely and the majority of potential arrangements are uneven <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-Rosen1">[34]</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-Cunningham1">[35]</xref>. Reversely, a Yule model tends to produce more balanced phylogenetic trees than empirical ones because it assumes a constant speciation/extinction rate along the tree <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-Yule1">[36]</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-Mooers1">[37]</xref>. Consequently, the Yule model induces a higher degree of phylogenetic similarity between species than PDA model does. The two simulated phylogenetic trees (see supplementary <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="pone.0042760.s002">figures S2</xref>) were created using the R package “apTreeshape" <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-Bortolussi1">[38]</xref>.</p><p>When considering the PhyloSor index and the PDA phylogenetic tree (see <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="pone.0042760.s002">Fig S2</xref>), results showed that both the turnover and PD components of PBD displayed a positive triangular relationship with PhyloSor (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0042760-g003">Fig. 3a and 3c</xref>), with an upper bound (first bisectrix) corresponding to the situation where PhyloSor<sub>Turn</sub> = PhyloSor (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0042760-g003">Fig. 3a</xref>) and PhyloSor<sub>PD</sub> = PhyloSor (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0042760-g003">Fig. 3c</xref>). PhyloSor<sub>Turn</sub> = PhyloSor when the two communities compared had the same phylogenetic diversity, whereas PhyloSor<sub>PD</sub> = PhyloSor when the two communities were completely nested in regards to their taxonomic composition (see also <xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0042760-g002">Fig. 2</xref> and <xref ref-type="table" rid="pone-0042760-t001">Table 1</xref>). When comparing PhyloSor<sub>PD</sub> and PhyloSor<sub>Turn</sub> together, we found a negative triangular relationship with an upper bound (first bisectrix) corresponding to the cases where PhyloSor = PhyloSor<sub>Turn</sub>+PhyloSor<sub>PD</sub> = 1.

However, a deeper work covering a wider panel of tree topologies <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-Schweiger1">[39]</xref> is needed to fully investigate the influence of phylogenetic tree shapes on PBD measurements.</p><p>Previous empirical studies emphasized that CBD and PBD may be highly correlated <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-Graham1">[3]</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-Bryant1">[8]</xref>.

It is worth noting that the phylogenetic diversity component of PBD is not trivially related to the nestedness component of CBD (see <xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0042760-g004">Fig. 4a,b</xref>). For example, when two communities are non-nested (i.e. β<sub>sne</sub> or β<sub>jne</sub> = 0), values of PhyloSor<sub>PD</sub> and UniFrac<sub>PD</sub> can be higher than 0. This highlights that PhyloSor<sub>PD</sub> and UniFrac<sub>PD</sub> measure the amount of PBD caused by PD differences for both nested and non-nested communities. Overall, these results emphasize that appropriate null models are required to analyze patterns of PBD and underlying processes. For instance, using PhyloSor (or Unifrac) and its turnover and PD components, one can test whether two communities are phylogenetically more or less dissimilar than what is expected given their taxa dissimilarity (CBD). This can be achieved by comparing the phylogenetic dissimilarity of the observed communities to a null expectation obtained by randomizing species across the tips of regional phylogenies while holding species richness and CBD constant <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-Graham1">[3]</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-Bryant1">[8]</xref>.</p><fig id="pone-0042760-g004" orientation="portrait" position="float"><object-id pub-id-type="doi">10.1371/journal.pone.0042760.g004</object-id><label>Figure 4</label><caption><title>Relationships between phylogenetic beta diversity (PBD) and compositional beta diversity (CBD).</title><p>These relationships are shown according to the Sorenson's dissimilarity index (a) and the Jaccard's dissimilarity indices (b) and their phylogenetic analogues (PhyloSor and UniFrac).

The Labridae is a species rich fish family, circa 600 species <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-Parenti1">[40]</xref>, that is characteristic of coral reef fish faunas around the world <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-Bellwood1">[41]</xref>. We compiled labrid fish species occurrences for 6 sites distributed along a longitudinal gradient (from the Indian Ocean to the Eastern Pacific passing by the Indo-Australian Archipelago, hereafter IAA, see <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="pone.0042760.s003">Table S1</xref>). At each site, species occurrences were based on 12×20-min. timed swims (four locations x three habitats; the reef slope, crest and flat), to provide an overview of the local labrid fauna (census details are provided in <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-Bellwood2">[42]</xref>). This gradient spanned almost the entire Indian and Pacific Oceans, and encompassed the major physical factors that are thought to affect the global distribution of reef fishes <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-Bellwood2">[42]</xref>. To explore PBD, we used a labrid reef fish phylogeny (108 coral reef fish species recorded from the 6 locations) that was constructed using a genetic algorithm approach based on a maximum likelihood criterion and dated using Bayesian Inference <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-Cowman1">[43]</xref>.</p><p>The PhyloSor index showed low levels of PBD between sites (i.e. values of PhyloSor ranging from 0.16 to 0.44, <xref ref-type="table" rid="pone-0042760-t002">Table 2</xref>), except for the pairwise comparisons involving Panama where high levels of PBD were found (e.g. values of PhyloSor ranging from 0.74 to 0.82, see <xref ref-type="table" rid="pone-0042760-t002">Table 2</xref>). Using UniFrac index provided similar results (<xref ref-type="table" rid="pone-0042760-t002">Table 2</xref>). Arguably, one might conclude that high turnover of lineages occurs between Panama (East Pacific) and the other sites located in the Indian Ocean (Mauritius) and the IAA (Great Barrier Reef, Moorea, Togian and Vanuatu). However, distinguishing between the turnover and PD components of PBD showed that the level of phylogenetic turnover was roughly low for each pairwise comparison (e.g. values of PhyloSor<sub>Turn</sub> ranging from 0.07 to 0.35, see <xref ref-type="table" rid="pone-0042760-t002">Table 2</xref>). In fact, the high level of PBD found between Panama and the other sites was mostly explained by their difference in PD, as shown by the PhyloSor<sub>PD</sub> index that ranged from 0.42 to 0.49 (<xref ref-type="table" rid="pone-0042760-t002">Table 2</xref>, <xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0042760-g005">Fig. 5a</xref>). This result can be explained by the fact that Panama differs greatly from the other sites due to its low level of PD that is directly related to a low species richness (see <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="pone.0042760.s003">Table S1</xref>). In contrast, the PD component of PBD showed rather low values for each between-site comparison excluding Panama (i.e. values of PhyloSor<sub>PD</sub> ranged from 0.01 to 0.17, <xref ref-type="table" rid="pone-0042760-t002">Table 2</xref>, <xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0042760-g005">Fig. 5b</xref>), as these sites displayed comparable levels of PD (i.e. from 11.9 to 17.7, <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="pone.0042760.s003">Table S1</xref>). These results suggest that using ‘broad-sense’ measures of PBD such as the PhyloSor index may greatly over-estimate the level of spatial turnover of lineages if the two sites show contrasting levels of phylogenetic diversity.</p><fig id="pone-0042760-g005" orientation="portrait" position="float"><object-id pub-id-type="doi">10.1371/journal.pone.0042760.g005</object-id><label>Figure 5</label><caption><title>Phylogenetic relationships between two regional pools of labrid reef fish species.</title><p>Two examples of between-region comparison are presented (a: Great Barrier Reef vs. Panama, and b: Great Barrier Reef vs. Togian).

In many ways this reflects the taxonomic similarities seen in both fishes and corals across the domain <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-Bellwood3">[44]</xref>, most of the Indo-Pacific being a low diversity subset of the IAA. A marked departure from this pattern was only found in geographically marginal locations of the East Pacific, such as Panama, where a history of isolation and species loss has resulted in an unusual low and unique diversity of coral reef fish species <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-Bellwood3">[44]</xref>. In addition, the development of a complex mosaic of reef habitats in the IAA during the Oligocene/Miocene has been shown to be a significant driver of cladogenesis in several coral reef fish families such as Labridae <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-Cowman1">[43]</xref>, hence explaining the high level of PD found in the IAA compared to Panama. Our results suggest that the high levels of PBD between Panama and the other sites is not a result of its historical association with the west Tethys <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-Bellwood1">[41]</xref> but with a more recent history of isolation and decline <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-ODea1">[45]</xref>.</p><p>Recent approaches exploring PBD allowed the differentiation of historical (e.g. speciation and dispersal) vs. niche-based processes (e.g. environmental filtering and niche similarity) in shaping assemblage structure at both local and regional scales <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-Graham1">[3]</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-Graham2">[9]</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-Gomez1">[14]</xref>. These studies compared observed values of PBD with those obtained by a null model where random assemblages are drawn from the overall species pool (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0042760-g006">Fig. 6</xref>).

In addition, as discussed above, CBD and PBD are highly correlated and an appropriate null model is therefore required to determine whether PBD is higher or lower than expected given CBD. We therefore used a null model approach (see <xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0042760-g006">Fig. 6</xref>) similar to that applied by Graham <italic>et al.</italic><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-Graham1">[3]</xref> and Swenson <italic>et al.</italic><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-Swenson2">[46]</xref>. Specifically, a null distribution of PBD values was generated by randomizing species across the tips of the labrid phylogeny 9999 times while holding species richness and CBD constant. A standardized effect size (SES) was then calculated for the PhyloSor index and its turnover and PD components using the mean and standard deviation of the null distribution as follows <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-Gotelli1">[47]</xref>:<disp-formula id="pone.0042760.e018"><graphic xlink:href="pone.0042760.e018"></graphic></disp-formula>where X<sub>obs</sub> is the observed PhyloSor value, <inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="pone.0042760.e019.jpg"></inline-graphic></inline-formula> the mean of the null distribution and s.d.(X<sub>null</sub>) the standard deviation of the null distribution. SES values greater than 1.96 indicate a higher PBD than expected by CBD while SES values below -1.96 indicate a lower PBD than expected by CBD. Specifically, we aimed at exploring whether PBD measures that account for differences in PD (PhyloSor) showed similar SES values than PBD measures that do not account for PD differences (PhyloSor<sub>Turn</sub>).</p><fig id="pone-0042760-g006" orientation="portrait" position="float"><object-id pub-id-type="doi">10.1371/journal.pone.0042760.g006</object-id><label>Figure 6</label><caption><title>Flow chart of the main steps to quantify standardized effect size of phylogenetic beta diversity.</title></caption><graphic xlink:href="pone.0042760.g006"></graphic></fig><p>This null model analysis showed non-random patterns of PBD for 6 pairwise comparisons out of 14 (<xref ref-type="table" rid="pone-0042760-t002">Table 2</xref>), particularly those involving the GBR, Moorea, Togian and Vanuatu sites. However, accounting or not for PD differences between sites showed contrasting results for 3 pairwise comparisons (Mauritius-Togian, Moorea-Vanuatu, Togian-Vanuatu). For instance, the PhyloSor index showed a higher PBD than expected given CBD between the Togian and Vanuatu sites (SES = 2.96, see <xref ref-type="table" rid="pone-0042760-t002">Table 2</xref>). This may be interpreted as a non-random spatial turnover of lineages resulting from either past speciation and extinction events or dispersal limitation of lineages or niche-based processes or a combination of both. However, controlling for PD differences between these two sites revealed a random pattern of lineage turnover (SES = 1.49). Conversely, using the PhyloSor index did not show a higher or lower PBD than expected by CBD between the Moorea and Vanuatu regions (SES = 1.04, see <xref ref-type="table" rid="pone-0042760-t002">Table 2</xref>), while the PhyloSor<sub>turn</sub> index did (SES = 2.05). Such discrepancies suggest that accounting for PD differences between sites may lead to contrasting conclusions in regards to the degree of phylogenetic structure in assemblage composition. Here our aim was not to disentangle the relative roles of ecological and evolutionary processes in shaping large-scale patterns of phylogenetic structure in coral reef fish communities. This would need analysing a larger dataset. Instead, we were interested in showing how the choice of including or not differences in PD to quantify PBD could lead to contrasting results from a null model.</p></sec><sec id="s5"><title>Concluding Remarks</title><p>Integration of phylogenetic information into a community ecology framework has provided new insights into our understanding of the roles of ecological and evolutionary processes in shaping patterns of community structure at local and regional scales <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-Webb1">[1]</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-CavenderBares1">[2]</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-Graham2">[9]</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-Mouquet1">[48]</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-Swenson3">[49]</xref>. The present study participates to this emerging field of research called “ecophylogenetics" <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-Mouquet1">[48]</xref>.</p><p>Overall, our results suggest that PD gradients may distort phylogenetic turnover patterns if the PBD measures (e.g. PhyloSor or Unifrac) incorporate PD differences between localities (or regions). This finding has important implications in the context of hypothesis testing in community ecology and biogeography <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-Graham2">[9]</xref>. For instance, one might test whether large-scale patterns of PBD can be explained by an environmental filtering process (or lineage filtering process), whereby local communities experiencing different environments contain different lineages <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-Pommier1">[50]</xref>. However, these localities encompassing various regions may greatly differ in their level of phylogenetic diversity due to regional processes, e.g. regional differences in the amount of time for speciation <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-Stevens1">[51]</xref> and/or differential rates of immigration <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-Davies1">[52]</xref>. Using the PhyloSor (or UniFrac) index that incorporates PD differences may hence make it difficult to distinguish between the relative roles of local-scale processes (e.g. environmental filtering) and regional processes (e.g. time for speciation) in shaping large-scale patterns of PBD. When the environmental filtering hypothesis is to be tested, we therefore recommend the use of the PhyloSor (or UniFrac) index in tandem with its ‘true’ phylogenetic turnover component (PhyloSor<sub>turn</sub>), so as to control for the potential confounding effect of PD differences. Decoupling variation in beta diversity from variation in alpha diversity has rapidly emergered as an important step towards a better understanding of the drivers of community structure across latitudinal and altitudinal gradients <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-Kraft1">[53]</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-Chase1">[54]</xref>.

As mentioned by Swenson <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0042760-Swenson1">[11]</xref>, future studies introducing new PBD metrics would show how these metrics actually provide novel information and strengthen the statistical toolkit of the phylogenetic community ecologist.

We hope that our proposed PBD metrics will help future studies to unravel the mechanisms driving large-scale patterns of biodiversity.</p></sec><sec sec-type="supplementary-material"
