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 …

Aim After colonising isolated islands, many types of plants and animals undergo extreme
morphological diversification. In stark contrast, other island taxa change more subtly and …

Edaphically unusual sites harbor a flora that is often unique in its taxonomic as well as
functional composition and contain many endemic species. While this edaphic endemism …

Aim Species on islands are at high risk of extinction due to environmental changes,
including global warming, land‐use alterations and invasions. At local scales, extinctions …

The high proportion of woody plant species on oceanic islands has hitherto been explained
mainly by gradual adaptation to climatic conditions. Here, we present a novel hypothesis …

Andean species of Valeriana are frequently pointed to as an example of island woodiness,
ie plants with herbaceous ancestors that usually evolve woodier forms on islands. We …

Functional island biogeography can provide eco–evolutionary insights into which main
drivers contribute to shaping the distribution of organisms' forms and functions on islands. It …

Body size is a trait of fundamental ecological and evolutionary importance that is often
different between males and females (sexual size dimorphism; SSD). The island rule …

Abstract Biddick & Burns (2021) proposed a null/neutral model that reproduces the island
rule as a product of random drift. We agree that it is unnecessary to assume adaptive …

Graph classification is an important task widely applied to biochemistry, social networks, and
other fields. Since it is a data-dependent problem, insufficient training data will deteriorate …
