I am looking for an abundance weighted phylogenetic diversity index. Barker (2002; Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2002, 76, 165-194) adapted the faith index to incorporate also absolute or relative abundance. However, in my opinion, this index results in some weird artifacts when relative abundance is used.

Does anybody have some tips + preferential suggestions for r-packages to implement other indices?
