Integrating the effects of area, isolation, and habitat heterogeneity on species diversity: a unification of island biogeography and niche theory
R Kadmon, O Allouche - The American Naturalist, 2007 - journals.uchicago.edu
We present an analytical model that unifies two of the most influential theories in community
ecology, namely, island biogeography and niche theory. Our model captures the main …

The local–regional relationship: immigration, extinction, and scale
While local processes (eg, competition, predation, and disturbance) presumably cause
species exclusion and thus limit diversity in individual communities, regional processes (eg …

Island species richness increases with habitat diversity
Species richness is commonly thought to increase with habitat diversity. However, a recent
theoretical model aiming to unify niche and island biogeography theories predicted a hump …

Area–heterogeneity tradeoff and the diversity of ecological communities
O Allouche, M Kalyuzhny… - Proceedings of the …, 2012 - National Acad Sciences
For more than 50 y ecologists have believed that spatial heterogeneity in habitat conditions
promotes species richness by increasing opportunities for niche partitioning. However, a …

Patterns of species ranges, speciation, and extinction
The exact nature of the relationship among species range sizes, speciation, and extinction
events is not well understood. The factors that promote larger ranges, such as broad niche …

Coexistence in metacommunities: the regional similarity hypothesis
Species richness has historically been studied with a separation between small-and large-
scale processes. Species diversity has been approached, on the one hand, from a local …

Importance of matrix habitats in maintaining biological diversity
JF Franklin, DB Lindenmayer - Proceedings of the National …, 2009 - National Acad Sciences
The theory of island biogeogra-phy has been the central tenet of conservation biology for
several decades, a tenet in which continental landscapes are viewed islands of suitable …

[HTML][HTML] Does probability of occurrence relate to population dynamics?
Hutchinson defined species' realized niche as the set of environmental conditions in which
populations can persist in the presence of competitors. In terms of demography, the realized …

On the relationship between niche and distribution
HR Pulliam - Ecology letters, 2000 - Wiley Online Library
Applications of Hutchinson'sn‐dimensional niche concept are often focused on the role of
interspecific competition in shaping species distribution patterns. In this paper, I discuss a …

Extensions of Island Biogeography Theory predict the scaling of functional trait composition with habitat area and isolation
Abstract The Theory of Island Biogeography (TIB) predicts how area and isolation influence
species richness equilibrium on insular habitats. However, the TIB remains silent about …
