Research on island species–area relationships (ISAR) has expanded to incorporate
functional (IFDAR) and phylogenetic (IPDAR) diversity. However, relative to the ISAR, we …

Evaluating the impacts of habitat loss and fragmentation is essential for biodiversity
conservation. However, an understanding of how habitat loss and fragmentation interact and …

Island biogeography is the study of the distribution and dynamics of species in island
environments. Due to their isolation from more widespread continental species, islands are …

Abstract The Equilibrium Theory of Island Biogeography postulates that larger and closer
islands support higher biodiversity through the dynamic balance of colonization and …

Aim Whether entire communities of organisms converge towards predictable structural
properties in similar environmental conditions remains controversial. We tested for …

Island biogeography theory has proved a robust approach to predicting island biodiversity
on the assumption of species equivalency. However, species differ in their grouping …

Aim The small‐island effect (SIE) describes an anomalous feature of the species–area
relationship (SAR) on smaller compared to larger islands. However, previous studies on …

Nestedness is an important part of the theoretical framework of island biogeography and
community ecology. However, most previous studies focused on taxonomic dimension and …

Context Environmental filtering is an important assembly process that structures plant
communities and is commonly inferred from taxonomic, functional trait and phylogenetic …

Small wetlands provide crucial ecosystem services but are facing widespread loss and
degradation. At present, small wetland complexes provide an alternative avenue for …
