Aim The influence of species phylogenetic relatedness on the formation of insular
assemblages remains understudied in functional island biogeography, especially for …

Current climate warming and extended droughts have major impacts on plant performance,
with consequences for biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. However, unlike in trees, little …

Climate change is promoting global declines in plant diversity, which are expected to be
more critical in islands or island‐like ecosystems due to environmental constraints and …

Edaphically unusual sites harbor a flora that is often unique in its taxonomic as well as
functional composition and contain many endemic species. While this edaphic endemism …

The role of storage carbohydrates in plant carbon economy is currently disputed as possibly
passive accumulation when other resources are limiting growth, or part of a conservative …

Aim To examine the climatic and biogeographic drivers of plant trait variation across
Caribbean tropical dry forests, a system characterised by high rates of plant endemism …

Aging is an inherent part of life that touches every living organism on our planet. It directly
affects each individual as we witness how our bodies, health, and abilities change as we …

Functional island biogeography can provide eco–evolutionary insights into which main
drivers contribute to shaping the distribution of organisms' forms and functions on islands. It …

Species–area relationships (SAR) constitute a key aspect of ecological theory and are
integral to other scientific disciplines, such as biogeography, which have played a crucial …
