Abstract Despite islands contributing only 6.7% of land surface area, they harbor~ 20% of
the Earth's biodiversity, but unfortunately also~ 50% of the threatened species and 75% of …

Global biodiversity loss is disproportionately rapid on islands, where invasive species are a
major driver of extinctions. To inform conservation planning aimed at preventing extinctions …

Invasive alien species (IASs) on islands have broad impacts across biodiversity, agriculture,
economy, health and culture, which tend to be stronger than on continents. Across small …

Islands are global hotspots for biodiversity and extinction, representing~ 5% of Earth's land
area alongside 40% of globally threatened vertebrates and 61% of global extinctions since …

Island biogeography is the study of the distribution and dynamics of species in island
environments. Due to their isolation from more widespread continental species, islands are …

The primary goal of invasive species management is to eliminate or reduce populations of
invasive species. Although management efforts are often motivated by broader goals such …

Invasive mammals are the greatest threat to island biodiversity and invasive rodents are
likely responsible for the greatest number of extinctions and ecosystem changes …

Adaptive management is a powerful means of learning about complex ecosystems, but is
rarely used for recovering endangered species. Here, we demonstrate how it can benefit …

Current threats to the planet's biodiversity are unprecedented, and they particularly imperil
insular floras. In this investigation, we use the threat factors identified by the Millennium …

Minimizing the impact of invasive alien species (IAS) on islands and elsewhere requires
researchers to provide cogent information on the environmental and socioeconomic …
