It was based on a Mediterranean-style diet in combination with personalized healthy nutrition counselling.
At systematically increased levels of data aggregation, the model was tested on two landscapes, one based on species patterns that were initially random and one based on more realistic distributions, over 500-year time periods for a southern California (Mediterranean-climate) landscape.
It was based on 11 food items including 6 typical Mediterranean food items (pasta, Mediterranean vegetables, fruits, legumes, olive oil and fish), 4 non-Mediterranean food items (soft drinks, butter, red meat and potatoes) and alcohol.
The extent of the mediterranean biome is typically mapped based on a combination of climate characteristics and plant assemblages that vary from region to region [2].
Highly impacted areas were identified based on cross-referencing the Human Footprint data with country scale data across the mediterranean biome on the extent of urban and agricultural area and normalized by population data for the year 2000.
We therefore incorporated species complementarity within the dynamic return on investment framework and identified seven mediterranean ecoregions in three biogeographic realms which are priorities for future investment based on maximizing the number of distinct vertebrates.
Based on presence/absence of alleles, this revealed that the flow of genetic information across the Mediterranean-Atlantic transition zone had most likely occurred westwards, because dominant Mediterranean alleles penetrate into the nearest Atlantic sites (Atlantic Iberia), but the opposite is not true, i.e. dominant Atlantic alleles are not found in any Mediterranean populations.
My approach to analyzing community phylogenetic patterns based on pairwise co-occurrences is similar to that employed for schoenoid sedges in another Mediterranean-climate shrubland, the Cape Floristic Region, which also found evidence for phylogenetic repulsion [ 11].
