Since the review of the reproductive biology of island plants by Ehrendorfer (1979) three
decades ago, there has been a veritable explosion of studies on plants of oceanic islands …

Island and mainland populations of plants often differ in their reproductive biology and
genetics. The differences become more pronounced the further islands are from mainland …

The present knowledge on the reproductive biology of vascular plants on islands,
particularly on oceanic islands, is reviewed in relation to arrival by long-distance dispersal; …

Sherwin Carlquist's seminal publications—in particular his classic Island Biology, published
in 1974—formulated hypotheses specific to island biology that remain valuable today. This …

The floras and faunas of oceanic islands have fascinated evolutionary biologists since the
time of Darwin (1859) and Wallace (1880). Questions that first arose about island life are …

Genera of flowering plants that are endemic to oceanic islands are often of great biological
interest. These groups represent adaptive complexes that confer distinction to the islands or …

When I contributed the final chapter to Plants and Islands (Bramwell, 1979), my conclusions
about the future of island organisms and communities were described by the editor as …

Islands have, since the time of Darwin and Wallace, fascinated researchers and questions
relating to the origins of the native, often endemic, plants and animals continue to be a major …

This thorough and meticulous study, the result of nearly a quarter-century of research,
examines the island biogeography of plants on continental islands in Barkley Sound, British …

Since Darwin's observations on the biota of the Galápagos, the evolution of island plants
has attracted the attention of many investigators (Carlquist, 1974). Adaptive radiation of …
