Animals frequently evolve unique suites of traits on islands, but whether plants evolve
comparable island syndromes remains unresolved. Here, we test the prediction on the basis …

We assessed changes in phylogenetic diversity of angiosperm flora on six oceanic islands
located in the southeastern Pacific Ocean, by comparing flora from two periods: the pre …

Aim Flower traits are critical to the mutualistic networks that underpin ecosystem function.
However, the broad‐scale drivers of flower traits are unclear. Using the megadiverse islands …

Despite representing a fraction of the global terrestrial surface area, oceanic islands are
disproportionately diverse in species, resulting from high rates of endemicity. Island plants …

The island rule is a putative pattern in island evolution, where small species become larger
on islands and large species become smaller. Despite decades of study, a mechanistic …

Abstract Background and Aims Archipelagos provide a valuable framework for investigating
phenotypic evolution under different levels of geographical isolation. Here, we analysed two …

Island biogeography is the study of the spatio‐temporal distribution of species, communities,
assemblages or ecosystems on islands and other isolated habitats. Island diversity is …

Islands are ideal for investigating processes that shape species assemblages because they
are isolated and have discrete boundaries. Quantifying phylogenetic assemblage structure …

Aim After colonising isolated islands, many types of plants and animals undergo extreme
morphological diversification. In stark contrast, other island taxa change more subtly and …

Current models of island biogeography treat endemic and non‐endemic species as if they
were functionally equivalent, focussing primarily on species richness. Thus, the functional …
