Correlations with species richness
PD	0.88^**	0.94^**	0.95^**
Correlations with richness in threatened species
Expected PDloss	0.65^**	0.47^**	0.68^**
HEDGE	0. 70^**	0.38^**	0.71^**
Correlations with richness in range-restricted species
BED	0.37^**	0.46^**	0.27^**

Spearman correlation between evolutionary history and species richness for PD, richness in threatened species (species classified as critically endangered, endangered, or vulnerable) for Expected PDloss and HEDGE and richness in range-restricted species (number of species in the top 10 % species with the smallest range size) for BED
Significance represented with the symbol * corresponds to marginal significance (p value ≤ 0.1) and ** to significance (p value ≤ 0.01)
