We derive an invertible transform linking two widely used measures of species diversity: phylogenetic diversity and the expected proportions of segregating (non-constant) sites. We assume a bi-allelic, symmetric, finite site model of substitution. Like the Hadamard transform of Hendy and Penny, the transform can be expressed completely independent of the underlying phylogeny. Our results bridge work on diversity from two quite distinct scientific communities.
