Evolutionary radiations on oceanic islands have fascinated biologists since Darwin's
exploration of the Galápagos archipelago [1, 2]. Island radiations can provide key insights …

The application of state-dependent speciation and extinction models to phylogenetic trees
has shown an important role for traits in diversification. However, this role remains …

Island systems have long served as a model for evolutionary processes due to their unique
species interactions. Many studies of the evolution of species interactions on islands have …

Island plants form the foundation for maintaining the ecology of an island. With the
development of the island's infrastructure, its ecosystems become damaged to a certain …

Reproductive success in flowering plants depends on floral biology, breeding system, and
availability of compatible mates and pollinators. Here, we examine the pollination biology of …

Despite accelerating interest in the island syndrome, the evolutionary trajectories of island
flowers remain poorly understood. Here, we derive a new dataset from the Southwest Pacific …

The origin and establishment of gender dimorphism has been postulated as a key element
in the evolution of insular floras but has generally not been studied in an explicit …

Species traits are widely hypothesized to be important drivers shaping diversification rates
and biodiversity patterns, but have been neglected in the current island biogeography …

Understanding the pollination requirements of threatened species is critical for the success
of long-term conservation strategies. In a series of greenhouse experiments, we assessed …

The factors that facilitate successful colonization of islands should be especially evident
where the establishment filter is strongest. Colonizers of small, remote oceanic islands …
