However, it is crucial to know how biodiversity is spatially distributed for multiple species groups simultaneously to help designing future reserves in a context of limited resources. Using the residuals (PDres) of the relationship between phylogenetic diversity (PD) and species diversity (SD), we identified areas of high and low PD compared to the species pool for mammals, birds and amphibians in the Western Palearctic eco-region. We assessed the co-variation of PD for the three groups and identified spatial congruence in their distribution. Finally we propose a unique assessment of the significance of the European network of protected areas in covering important PD areas. Mapping PDres shows strong spatial patterns differing between taxa. This suggests that phylogenetic history of these groups has probably been unique in the past and that a species group is not a relevant surrogate for the other. Areas of PD convergence (high or low) for the three groups show a low level of protection globally and highlight the challenge of protecting and managing different components of diversity (e.g. evolutionary history) for different groups of species simultaneously.} }
