  abstract = {{T}he evolutionary dissimilarity between communities (phylogenetic beta diversity {PBD}) has been increasingly explored by ecologists and biogeographers to assess the relative roles of ecological and evolutionary processes in structuring natural communities. {A}mong {PBD} measures, the {P}hylo{S}or and {U}ni{F}rac indices have been widely used to assess the level of turnover of lineages over geographical and environmental gradients. {H}owever, these indices can be considered as 'broad-sense' measures of phylogenetic turnover as they incorporate different aspects of differences in evolutionary history between communities that may be attributable to phylogenetic diversity gradients. {I}n the present study, we extend an additive partitioning framework proposed for compositional beta diversity to {PBD}. {S}pecifically, we decomposed the {P}hylo{S}or and {U}ni{F}rac indices into two separate components accounting for 'true' phylogenetic turnover and phylogenetic diversity gradients, respectively. {W}e illustrated the relevance of this framework using simple theoretical and archetypal examples, as well as an empirical study based on coral reef fish communities. {O}verall, our results suggest that using {P}hylo{S}or and {U}ni{F}rac may greatly over-estimate the level of spatial turnover of lineages if the two compared communities show contrasting levels of phylogenetic diversity. {W}e therefore recommend that future studies use the 'true' phylogenetic turnover component of these indices when the studied communities encompass a large phylogenetic diversity gradient.},
