Abstract In 1966, island biogeographer Sherwin Carlquist published a list of 24 principles
governing long-distance dispersal and evolution on islands. The 24 principles describe …

Diversification of freshwater fishes on islands is considered unlikely because the traits that
enable successful colonization—specifically, broad salinity tolerances and the potential for …

Points of origin and pathways of spread are often poorly understood for introduced parasites
that drive disease emergence in imperiled native species. Co‐introduction of parasites with …

Behavior flexibility during the larval stage influences differential mortality, recruitment, and
population dynamics; recruitment is poorly understood, yet important for understanding …

We investigated the fluvial fish communities at 16 sites that cover the entire Shubuto River in
northern Japan in July and September 2010. A total of 5,552.9 g of biomass and 980 …

Climate change can promote disease emergence if shifting conditions favour infection of
native fauna by introduced parasites and pathogens. In H awai'i, climate warming is …

Freshwater ecosystems on small oceanic islands are frequently subjected to catastrophic
events (eg, flash floods, hurricanes, volcanic eruptions) destroying resident faunas of stream …

Amphidromous stream fauna represent three phyla that have a tropical distribution among
oceanic islands, with a few continental representatives. This lifecycle involves marine larval …

The island arc west of the island of Sumatra in Indonesia, here referred to as the Western
Archipelago, is home to many endemic flora and fauna. Despite their importance in the …

Life-history plays a key role in determining species distributions and population structuring.
Many studies evaluate the role of adult characteristics when predicting species distribution …
