The negative effects of alien invasive plants on habitats have been well-documented.
However, the exchange of organisms between these and native taxa has been far less …

Recently, Emerson and Kolm (2005) hypothesized that diversity begets speciation (DBS
hypothesis). The relationship between total species richness and single island endemic …

Aim Islands are widely considered to be species depauperate relative to mainlands but,
somewhat paradoxically, are also host to many striking adaptive radiations. Here, focusing …

Using a large database on the spatial distribution of European springtails (Collembola) we
investigated how range sizes and range distribution across European countries and major …

Generally, effect of fragmentation per se on biodiversity has not been separated from the
effect of habitat loss. In this paper, using nDNA and cpDNA SSRs, we studied genetic …

Abstract Following recent (2014–2017) collections made in the Solomon Islands by the
MNHN and the NGO ESSI, we provide a checklist of the species of amphidromous …

Island ecosystems, serving as natural laboratories, facilitate geographical isolation,
ecological specialization, and species divergence. The Sichuan Basin, surrounded by …

Ruppia is a cosmopolitan genus and the species identity within the genus has been often
confusing due to high plasticity in morphology. We used nuclear ribosomal DNA internal …

The native vascular plants on Ulleungdo and Dokdo islands in Korea were investigated with
the objective of determining conservation priorities and establishing a sustainable strategy …

In a period of ongoing climate changes, identifying drivers of overall and endemic species
diversity is a key element in constructing new ecological patterns and determining the main …
