Island biogeography is the study of the spatio‐temporal distribution of species, communities,
assemblages or ecosystems on islands and other isolated habitats. Island diversity is …

Few ecologists and evolutionary biologists are familiar with the ecology and evolution of the
campo rupestre, an ancient azonal peinobiome characterized by a fire-prone, nutrient …

Motivation Although dispersal ability is one of the key features determining the spatial
dynamics of plant populations and the structure of plant communities, it is also one of the …

Understanding large‐scale drivers of biodiversity in palustrine wetlands is challenging due
to the combined effects of macroclimate and local edaphic conditions. In boreal and …

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

Abstract Aim The Equilibrium Theory of Island Biogeography (ETIB) posits that species
richness on islands represents a dynamic equilibrium between immigration and extinction …

Aim Functional traits can help us to elucidate biogeographical and ecological processes
driving assemblage structure. We analysed the functional diversity of plant species of …

Oceanic island floras are well known for their morphological peculiarities and exhibit striking
examples of trait evolution,–. These morphological shifts are commonly attributed to …

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 …

Islands are the confluence of terrestrial ecology and marine ecology. With urban expansion
and economic development, the ecological environment of islands is facing serious threats …
