As per available reports about 7 relevant journals, 9 Conferences, 17 workshops are presently dedicated exclusively to phylogenetic conservatism about 217 articles are being published on phylogenetic conservatism.
Phylogenetic conservatism is the tendency of species to retain their ancestral traits, resulting in closely related species being more ecologically similar than would be expected based on their phylogenetic relations. The occurrence of this phenomenon suggests that processes that prevent divergence are in operation in the lineage under consideration. This is different from phylogenetic signal, which is simply that species that are related phylogenetically tend to be ecologically similar.
Phylogenetic conservatism is now being used to explain latitudinal gradients in diversity, and other spatial patterns of species distributions. It is the tendency of lineages to retain their niche-related traits through speciation events. A recent surge in the availability of well-sampled molecular phylogenies has stimulated phylogenetic approaches to understanding ecological processes at large geographical scales and through macro evolutionary time. It is a pattern, not a process, and is found only in some traits and some lineages. A pattern of Phylogenetic conservatism can also be caused indirectly, as a by-product of other causes, such as extinction, dispersal limitation, competition and predation. Recognition of patterns can contribute to understanding macro evolutionary processes: for example, release from constraint in traits has been hypothesized to trigger adaptive radiations such as that of the angiosperms. Thus, Phylogenetic conservatism is a scientifically useful concept with applications to the practice of ecological research.
