Aim The species–area relationship (SAR) and the small‐island effect (SIE) are of important
ecological significance. However, few studies have focused on these topics in regard to …

Species richness on oceanic islands has been related to a series of ecological factors
including island size and isolation (ie the Equilibrium Model of Island Biogeography, EMIB) …

Aim Our aim was to determine the relative contribution of species replacement and richness
differences to overall beta diversity in Macaronesian spiders, the influence of several …

The general dynamic model of oceanic island biogeography describes the evolution of
species diversity properties, including species richness (SR), through time. We investigate …

Beta diversity, and its components of turnover and nestedness, reflects the processes
governing community assembly, such as dispersal limitation or biotic interactions, but it is …

Bryophytes of continental islands have received little attention in biogeography. To quantify
the contributions of island attributes to the species richness (SR) of different bryophyte …

Aim This study assesses the extent to which biogeographic patterns in freshwater fish beta
diversity and nestedness are due to dispersal limitation, from differences in dispersal …

Traditionally, geographical distribution of biodiversity is assumed to be codetermined by
multiple factors, for example, temperature, precipitation, environmental heterogeneity, and …

Aim Considered one of ecology's laws, the species‐area relationship (SAR) is among the
most intensively studied ecological phenomena, yet the mechanisms through which the SAR …

Species richness is influenced by a nested set of environmental factors, but how do these
factors interact across several scales? Our main aim is to disentangle the relative …
