Mating in seed plants arises from interactions between plant traits and the environmental
and demographic context in which individuals reside. These interactions commonly cause …

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 …

The length of time a flower remains open and functional–floral longevity–governs important
reproductive processes influencing pollination and mating and varies considerably among …

The evolution of predominant self‐fertilisation frequently coincides with the evolution of a
collection of phenotypes that comprise the 'selfing syndrome', in both plants and animals …

The study of insular systems has a long history in ecology and biogeography. Island plants
often differ remarkably from their noninsular counterparts, constituting excellent models for …

Oceanic islands are storehouses for unique creatures. Zoologists have long been fascinated
by island animals because they break all the rules. Speedy, nervous, little birds repeatedly …

Island disharmony refers to the biased representation of higher taxa on islands compared to
their mainland source regions and represents a central concept in island biology. Here, we …

One of the most exciting recent developments in the field of invasion biology has been the
growing realisation that evolution can determine invasive species' success. Here, we review …

Aims Floral traits are frequently studied in population biology and evolutionary ecology but
are rarely considered in functional trait‐based studies focusing on the assembly of …

One central concept in island biology is that island assemblages form subsets of the
mainland species pool, being disproportionately rich or poor in certain taxonomic groups …
