The human dimension of biodiversity changes on islands
Islands are among the last regions on Earth settled and transformed by human activities,
and they provide replicated model systems for analysis of how people affect ecological …

Diversification in evolutionary arenas—Assessment and synthesis
Understanding how and why rates of evolutionary diversification vary is a key issue in
evolutionary biology, ecology, and biogeography. Evolutionary rates are the net result of …

Dwarfism and gigantism drive human-mediated extinctions on islands
Islands have long been recognized as distinctive evolutionary arenas leading to
morphologically divergent species, such as dwarfs and giants. We assessed how body size …

Phylogenetic and functional clustering illustrate the roles of adaptive radiation and dispersal filtering in jointly shaping late‐Quaternary mammal assemblages on …
Islands frequently harbour unique assemblages of species, yet their ecological roles and
differences are largely ignored in island biogeography studies. Here, we examine eco …

Snapshot isolation and isolation history challenge the analogy between mountains and islands used to understand endemism
Aim Mountains and islands are both well known for their high endemism. To explain this
similarity, parallels have been drawn between the insularity of “true islands”(land …

Oscillayers: A dataset for the study of climatic oscillations over Plio‐Pleistocene time‐scales at high spatial‐temporal resolution
A Gamisch - Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Motivation In order to understand how species evolutionarily responded to Plio‐Pleistocene
climate oscillations (eg in terms of speciation, extinction, migration and adaptation), it is first …
