It is a measure of the evolutionary depth of host breadth, whereas PD also accounts for the phylogenetic density of host use.

Identifying such ancient cryptic diversity is likely to provide important insights into biogeographic history and processes of morphological stasis, and is essential for the effective allocation of conservation resources to preserve the maximal breadth of evolutionary diversity [ 5].

Although these differences appeared to drive evolutionary correlations with diet breadth, from a stoichioproteomic perspective we might, a priori, have expected the protein composition of cactus-feeders such as D. yakuba to have been most distinctive (see e.g. [ 25]), owing to the low nutritional quality of their food resources, but this was not the case.
