Abstract:
The data file contains the corrected species names for the tip labels of the phylogenetic tree. The attached text file is the phylogenetic tree. Methods concerning the phylogenetic tree see below sampling description.
Design:
We gathered sequence information, i.e. matK, rbcL and the ITS region including the 5.8s gene for all woody species from Gutianshan National Reserve (Lou & Li 1998) or closely related species available in GenBank (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genbank/, accessed between May and June 2012). For some species of the CSPs, matK and rbcL were sequenced using standard barcoding protocols (Fazekas et al. 2012) (Accession numbers: KF569888-KF569899, Table 1). All sequences were aligned separately for the different markers using MAFFT v6 (Katoh et al. 2002). Sequences for matK and rbcL were aligned with the ‘Auto’ option in the online version of the program (http://mafft.cbrc.jp/alignment/server/). The ITS region was aligned with the ‘Q-INS-I’ option considering secondary structure of RNA using the MAFFT application at Bioportal (https://www.bioportal.uio.no/, Kumar et al. 2009)). Aligned sequences were concatenated for each species resulting in a total alignment of 3521 nucleotide positions. A phylogenetic tree was inferred using a Maximum Likelihood (ML) method implemented in PhyML (Guindon & Gascuel 2003). For ML inference, the best fitting model (GTR+I+G) selected by Modeltest (Posada & Crandall 1998) was applied with the following options: tree topology search operation: best of NNI and SPR search, number of substitution rate categories =6, all other parameters were estimated (Gamma Distribution Parameter Alpha, Proportion of Invariable Sites, Transition/Transversion Ratio). Four species occurring in the CSPs but without sequence information available (Table 1) were added manually to the obtained ML tree by the following procedure. Acer cordatum was added within Acer as a polytomy to the most recent common ancestor (MRCA) of a monophyletic clade formed by other members of Acer sect. Palmata (i.e. A. elegantulum, A. wilsonii, A. olivaceum). Its branch length was defined as the average distance from the MRCA of that clade to the tips. Styrax wuyuanensis, Symplocos oblongifolia and Vaccinium mandarinorum were added similarily as polytomy emerging from the MRCA for all other members of the respective genus included, with branch lengths equalling the average branch length from that MRCA to the tips of congeners. Using the ML topology and branch lengths an ultrametric tree was created by non-parametric rate smoothing (nprs) as implemented in r8s (Sanderson 1997). Absolute node ages were obtained using 27 published fossils or dates as age constrains. A fixed age of 125 million years was applied to the crown node of the Eudicots (Table 2).

Tree species traits but not diversity mitigate stem breakage in a subtropical forest following a rare and extreme ice storm

Abstract:
Future climates are likely to include extreme events, which in turn have great impacts on ecological systems. In this study, we investigated possible effects that could mitigate stem breakage caused by a rare and extreme ice storm in a Chinese sub...

Functional and phylogenetic dissimilarity of woody plants drive insect herbivory in highly diverse forests

Abstract:
The degree of herbivore damage a plant species experiences has been shown to often be affected by the density of conspecific plant neighbors. However, host spectra of many herbivores often comprise a suite of related plant species, and generalist ...

Tree diversity promotes functional dissimilarity and maintains functional richness despite species loss in predator assemblages

Abstract:
The effects of species loss on ecosystems depend on the functional characteristics of the species, i.e. the functional diversity, in a community. However, how functional diversity is impacted by environmental changes in natural ecosystems is only ...

Trade-offs between physical and chemical carbon-based leaf defence: Of Intraspecific variation and trait evolution

Abstract:
1. Despite recent advances in studies on trade-offs between plant defence traits, little is known whether trade-offs reflect i) evolutionary constraints at the species level or ii) allocation constraints at the individual level. Here, we asked to ...

Woody plant phylogenetic diversity mediates bottom-up control of arthropod biomass in a species-rich forest

Abstract:
Effects of global change are predicted to cause non-random species loss in plant communities, with important consequences for ecosystem functioning. However, little is known about how plant diversity and the loss of this diversity influence the st...
