    Content: Phylogenetic diversity is now a key concept for biodiversity conservation due to its link to option value, evolutionary potential and to the possibility of guiding conservation across scales. Present facilities for obtaining molecular sequences and metagenomes are powering this research field, rendering available detailed information of phylogenetic diversity for a wide taxonomic sample in a short time frame. Along with modern methods of Systematic Conservation Planning this will certainly contribute to more explicit identification of conservation priorities and options. This book brings an updated state of the art of phylogenetic diversity in conservation biology. Nineteen chapters written by scientists from research institutions of fourteen countries demonstrate that approaches for preserving the evolutionary heritage are now very tuned into human impacts and sustainability issues. The questions, methods and applications around which it is organized show the importance of phylogenetic diversity in avoiding biodiversity losses in the present extinction crisis. They touch important points such as the way we value phylogenetic diversity, the importance of thinking at a much wider sample of the Tree of Life, the choice of adequate measures. In methods section, new solutions, such as dealing with abundances, sampling effort, or with information coming from conflicting phylogenetic trees are provided. Application section includes study cases of different groups of organi sms, such as mammals, amphibians, butterflies and plants, in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, showing that phylogenetic diversity can be applied in a very wide range of situations, including as a way for predicting conservation status of species. This highlights the interest of this book not only for students and scientists of related disciplines but also for stakeholders and policy-makers working on the implementation of global, regional, and local agendas for biodiversity conservation.

    Content: Les collections naturalistes ont désormais acquis une place inédite dans la recherche scientifique. Constituées à l'origine par la systématique et la taxonomie, elles se révèlent aujourd'hui fondamentales pour répondre à diverses questions scientifiques et sociétales, aussi importantes qu'actuelles.Les collections naturalistes dans la science du XXIe siècle présente un vaste échantillon de questions et de réponses suscitées par l'étude des différentes collections. Les milliards de spécimens récoltés pendant plus de deux siècles sur l'ensemble de la planète nous offrent des informations capitales pour notre quête de connaissances sur la Terre, l'Univers, la diversité du vivant et l'histoire de l'humanité.Les collections apportent également de précieux points de référence dans le passé pour comprendre la nature et la dynamique des changements globaux d'aujourd'hui. Leur permanence matérielle est la meilleure garantie de retour aux données et aux sources des informations dans le cadre de la science ouverte.
