Island plant functional syndromes and competition with invasive species
KE Barton, C Fortunel - Journal of Biogeography, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Island floras are diverse with exceptionally high rates of endemicity, and they are also
severely threatened. Invasive plants are widespread on islands, but whether islands are …

[HTML][HTML] Global patterns and drivers of phylogenetic structure in island floras
Islands are ideal for investigating processes that shape species assemblages because they
are isolated and have discrete boundaries. Quantifying phylogenetic assemblage structure …

Functional traits are key to understanding orchid diversity on islands
The extraordinary diversity of orchids has captivated scientists for more than a century, yet
their complex spatial patterns at large scales remain poorly resolved. On islands, orchid …

Wider spectrum of fruit traits in invasive than native floras may increase the vulnerability of oceanic islands to plant invasions
C Kueffer, L Kronauer, PJ Edwards - Oikos, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
Plant–animal mutualisms such as seed dispersal can play an important role in enabling
some species to become invasive. For example, an introduced species could become …

[HTML][HTML] Mutualisms weaken the latitudinal diversity gradient among oceanic islands
The latitudinal diversity gradient (LDG) dominates global patterns of diversity,, but the factors
that underlie the LDG remain elusive. Here we use a unique global dataset to show that …

Life history traits and patterns of diversification in oceanic archipelagos: a meta-analysis
Ecological conditions, such as high habitat diversity and the absence of competitors, have
been proposed as key determinants of the patterns of speciation observed in oceanic island …

Differential influences of island biogeographic effects on the diversity of three plant life-forms
SQ Li, QQ Pan, XD Yang, YC Gao - 2024 - researchsquare.com
Traditional island biogeography has assumed that area size and remoteness are key factors
affecting species richness, but this theory has recently been challenged as increased human …

Reply to Brian and Walker-Hale: Support for the island rule does not hide morphological disparity in insular plants
We would like to thank Brian and Walker-Hale (1) for their insightful comments on our paper
(2). Their ideas prompt us to think differently and more deeply about morphological …
