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 …

Aims: Islands are an ideal platform for investigating ecological processes that shape
biodiversity assemblages because of their distinct boundaries. An island's physical …

The investigation of taxonomic diversity within island plant communities stands as a central
focus in the field of island biogeography. Phylogenetic diversity is crucial for unraveling the …

Identifying and quantifying the impacts of human activity on island plant diversity can help
inform their management. Here, we examined the spatial pattern of plant diversity across 11 …

Aim Biodiversity on islands is commonly explained by a set of natural drivers such as area,
isolation and habitat heterogeneity. However, constant human impact has led to …

an archipelago of sixty-one small islands on bare hypersaline mudflats in tropical Australia
can be classified according to substrate composition into twenty-three shell, nineteen silt …

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 …

Divergent selection plays a critical role not only as a speciation driver but also in maintaining
post-speciation divergence. In the absence of direct evidence, ancestral interspecific gene …

Understanding how the complexities of biodiversity are maintained on islands has long
been one of the central issues studied in conservation biology. With the global onset of …

Islands are key model systems in biogeography and ecology. However, standardized data
on environmental characteristics of the large number of islands worldwide have so far been …
