The author discusses lower number of species per unit area in oceanic islands than
continents owing to their geographical isolation. Topics discussed include consistency …

This thorough and meticulous study, the result of nearly a quarter-century of research,
examines the island biogeography of plants on continental islands in Barkley Sound, British …

Island biogeography theory attempts to explain and predict among—island variation in
species richness. However, two islands with the same number of species may still differ from …

Islands hold a special fascination for biogeographers, ecologists, and evolutionists,
highlighting as they do questions of distribution and evolution. Historical bio geographers …

When I contributed the final chapter to Plants and Islands (Bramwell, 1979), my conclusions
about the future of island organisms and communities were described by the editor as …

Regression analyses were computed for the prediction of island species numbers in the
British Isles, using as independent variables island area, island elevation, the number of soil …

Species diversity in oceanic island archipelagoes is caused by many factors. The
equilibrium theory of island biogeography emphasizes size of islands and distance from …

It has been noted that as the size of an island gets larger, its biodiversity increases. There
are few species on small islands with more species found as the size of an island gets …
