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 …

Introduction. Tropical bryophyte diversity is threatened by habitat loss and climate change.
Methods. We reinvestigated the bryophyte biodiversity of Hainan Island, a continental island …

Island biogeography remains a popular topic in ecology and has gained renewed interest
due to recent theoretical development. As experimental investigation of the theory is difficult …

Insular biodiversity is expected to be regulated differently than continental biota, but their
determinants remain to be quantified at a global scale. We evaluated the importance of …

The archipelagos that form the transition between Asia and Australia were immortalized by
Alfred Russel Wallace's observations on the connections between geography and animal …

The existence of multiple independently derived populations in landlocked marine lakes
provides an opportunity for fundamental research into the role of isolation in population …

Aim Island biogeography predicts positive relationships between area and species richness
resulting from the ecological processes of colonization in smaller areas and the evolutionary …

Island biogeography theory is fundamentally reliant on measuring the number of species per
island and hence has taxonomy at its foundation. Yet as a metric used in tests of the theory …

Aim Although various theories have been proposed to explain the outstanding endemism of
plants in the Cerrado, four hypotheses about the mechanisms of diversification and …

Marine lakes, with populations in landlocked seawater and clearly delineated contours,
have the potential to provide a unique model to study early stages of evolution in coastal …
