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 …

Aim Species richness of native, endemic, and exotic plant groups is examined relative to
island area, disturbance history, geological history, and other physical characteristics. Of …

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

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

In New Guinea, low elevations are thought to be dominated by plant species with
biogeographic origins in Sunda (Borneo, Sumatra, Java, Mainland Asia) and high elevations …

Abstract MacArthur & Wilson's (1967) equilibrium theory of island biogeography predicts that
numbers of species on oceanic islands are dependent upon the size of islands, distance …

How different are the plants of the California Islands from those of the mainland? In a plant
found only on these islands, how much variation is there from island to island? To …

summary Biogeography was stuck in a" natural history phase" dominated by the collection of
data, the young Princeton biologists Robert H. MacArthur and Edward O. Wilson argued in …

The theory of island biogeography has played a pivotal role in the way ecologists view
communities. However, it does not account for exotic species explicitly, which limits its use …
