Keywords: Functional traits, phylogenetic trees, conservation, Noah's Ark

Abstract

Using the biblical event of “Noah’s Ark”, a set of proposals are made focused on introducing the reader to different concepts currently used in community ecology. The reader is also introduced to the application of these issues in conservation of species issues.
