Island biogeography: taking the long view of nature's laboratories
BACKGROUND Ever since Darwin, natural scientists have turned to islands for inspiration
and for model systems. For the past half century, they have done so largely within the …

Macaronesia as a fruitful arena for ecology, evolution, and conservation biology
Research in Macaronesia has led to substantial advances in ecology, evolution and
conservation biology. We review the scientific developments achieved in this region, and …

Restructuring of the 'Macaronesia'biogeographic unit: A marine multi-taxon biogeographical approach
Abstract The Azores, Madeira, Selvagens, Canary Islands and Cabo Verde are commonly
united under the term “Macaronesia”. This study investigates the coherency and validity of …

[图书][B] Island biogeography: geo-environmental dynamics, ecology, evolution, human impact, and conservation
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 …

Mega-tsunami conglomerates and flank collapses of ocean island volcanoes
Marine conglomerates at high elevation on the flanks of ocean islands are usually
interpreted as evidence of mega-tsunamis generated by volcano flank collapses, although …

Taking the pulse of Mars via dating of a plume-fed volcano
Mars hosts the solar system's largest volcanoes. Although their size and impact crater
density indicate continued activity over billions of years, their formation rates are poorly …

Equilibrium bird species diversity in Atlantic islands
Half a century ago, MacArthur and Wilson proposed that the number of species on islands
tends toward a dynamic equilibrium diversity around which species richness fluctuates [1] …
