  text: "Phylogenetic diversity (PD) is a measure of biodiversity based on the evolutionary
    history of species. Here, we discuss several optimization problems related to
    the use of PD, and the more general measure split diversity (SD), in conservation
    prioritization.\r\nDepending on the conservation goal and the information available
    about species, one can construct optimization routines that incorporate various
    conservation constraints. We demonstrate how this information can be used to select
    sets of species for conservation action. Specifically, we discuss the use of species'
    geographic distributions, the choice of candidates under economic pressure, and
    the use of predator–prey interactions between the species in a community to define
    viability constraints.\r\nDespite such optimization problems falling into the
    area of NP hard problems, it is possible to solve them in a reasonable amount
    of time using integer programming. We apply integer linear programming to a variety
    of models for conservation prioritization that incorporate the SD measure.\r\nWe
    exemplarily show the results for two data sets: the Cape region of South Africa
    and a Caribbean coral reef community. Finally, we provide user-friendly software
    at http://www.cibiv.at/software/pda."
