Using amphibians as a conservation target, we designed an innovative assessment strategy, showing that prioritization models focused on functional, phylogenetic, and taxonomic diversity can include cost-effectiveness-based assessments of land values. We report new key conservation sites within the Brazilian Atlantic Forest hot spot, revealing a congruence of ecological and evolutionary patterns. We sug- gest payment for ecosystem services through environmental set-asides on private land, establishing potential trade- offs for ecological and evolutionary processes. Our findings introduce additional effective area-based conservation parameters that set new priorities for biodiversity assessment in the Atlantic Forest, validating the usefulness of a novel approach to cost-effectiveness-based assessments of conservation value for other species-rich regions.10 p.application/pdfengcc-by-nc (c) Siqueira Campos, F. et al., 2017http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/esAmfibisHàbitat (Ecologia)AmphibiansHabitat (Ecology)Cost-effective conservation of amphibian ecology and evolutioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/article6776522018-03-06info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess28691084
