Aim Analyses of biogeographical patterns and macroecology of islands require large
datasets reporting the occurrence of species. The Mediterranean region is a biodiversity …

Islands frequently harbour unique assemblages of species, yet their ecological roles and
differences are largely ignored in island biogeography studies. Here, we examine eco …

For centuries, islands and mountains have incited the interest of naturalists, evolutionary
biologists and ecologists. Islands have been the cradle for biogeography and speciation …

Climate change and geological events have long been known to shape biodiversity,
implying that these can likewise be viewed from a biological perspective. To study whether …

The yellow crazy ant (Anoplolepis gracilipes) is a widespread tropical invasive species that
causes ecological damage in introduced habitats; their negative impacts are especially …

Island biogeography is based on the idea that the larger an island, and the less it is isolated
from other areas, the higher the biodiversity it contains. The premise of island size …

Diversity in habitat patches is partly driven by variation in patch size, which affects extinction,
and isolation, which affects immigration. Patch size also affects immigration as a component …

Islands are not only great models for understanding the ways in which communities are
linked by the dispersal of their members to form metacommunities, but are of particular …

Island rule describes the graded trend of gigantism in small‐bodied species to dwarfism in
large‐bodied species inhabiting islands, but causal explanations remain unresolved. We …

I investigated the spatial and temporal distribution of Galapagos fish assemblages using
diversity, abundance, and length data from baited remote underwater stereo-video systems …
