Abstract
A substantial proportion of the world's living species, including one-third of the reef-building corals, are threatened with extinction and in pressing need of conservation action. In order to reduce biodiversity loss, it is important to consider species' contribution to evolutionary diversity along with their risk of extinction for the purpose of setting conservation priorities. Here I reconstruct the most comprehensive tree of life for the order Scleractinia (1,293 species) that includes all 837 living reef species, and employ a composite measure of phylogenetic distinctiveness and extinction risk to identify the most endangered lineages that would not be given top priority on the basis of risk alone. The preservation of these lineages, not just the threatened species, is vital for safeguarding evolutionary diversity. Tests for phylogeny-associated patterns show that corals facing elevated extinction risk are not clustered on the tree, but species that are susceptible, resistant or resilient to impacts such as bleaching and disease tend to be close relatives. Intensification of these threats or extirpation of the endangered lineages could therefore result in disproportionate pruning of the coral tree of life.

In order to reduce biodiversity loss, it is important to consider species' contribution to evolutionary diversity along with their risk of extinction for the purpose of setting conservation priorities. Here I reconstruct the most comprehensive tree of life for the order Scleractinia (1,293 species) that includes all 837 living reef species, and employ a composite measure of phylogenetic distinctiveness and extinction risk to identify the most endangered lineages that would not be given top priority on the basis of risk alone. The preservation of these lineages, not just the threatened species, is vital for safeguarding evolutionary diversity. Tests for phylogeny-associated patterns show that corals facing elevated extinction risk are not clustered on the tree, but species that are susceptible, resistant or resilient to impacts such as bleaching and disease tend to be close relatives. Intensification of these threats or extirpation of the endangered lineages could therefore result in disproportionate pruning of the coral tree of life.</p></abstract><counts><page-count count="12"></page-count></counts></article-meta></front><body><sec id="s1"><title>Introduction</title><p>Worldwide, ocean-scale effects of sea surface warming and acidification are subjecting reef corals to severe stresses, resulting in intensified bleaching and disease, as well as declining calcification rates <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0034459-Hughes1">[1]</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0034459-Veron1">[6]</xref>.

A biogeographically-weighted evolutionary distinctiveness (ED) metric has the potential for regional prioritisation <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0034459-Cadotte3">[144]</xref>, but a probabilistic approach that accounts for future extinctions of related species may be more suitable than the static allocation of conservation value afforded by the ED measure <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0034459-Collen1">[32]</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0034459-Steel1">[145]</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0034459-Faith3">[146]</xref>.</p><p>Analyses demonstrating phylogenetic clustering of susceptibilities, resistance and resilience to various risk factors rely on accurate and precise species-specific data.
