Notes:
n.d. = no data available
1. Site numbers are the same as those shown in Figure 3
2. Land area are approximate only
3. Invasive free status is a qualitative assessment of how free the site is of major
invasive species (such as the ship rat, mongoose, vertebrate browsers and invasive weeds)

Appendix 4. Calculation of Taxonomic Distinctiveness
This taxonomic distinctiveness score is a measure of how special or unique the species is on a
global scale.
For a given Family, we need:
Global number of genera (G)
Global number of species (S)
For a given Genus, we need:
Global number of species (Y)
The taxonomic distinctiveness equation is then
=((2*(1/Y))+(1/(G*S)))/3
The double weighting of Y is to draw out the monotypic genera along the scale of 0 to 1
The expression used in the query is:
((2*(1/[TaxGenus].[Global No of Species]))+(1/([Global No of Genera]*[TaxFam].[Global No
of Species])))/3
