Microbial transmission in animal social networks and the social microbiome
Host-associated microbiomes play an increasingly appreciated role in animal metabolism,
immunity and health. The microbes in turn depend on their host for resources and can be …

Biodiversity dynamics on islands: Explicitly accounting for causality in mechanistic models
L Leidinger, J Sarmento Cabral - Diversity, 2017 - mdpi.com
Island biogeography remains a popular topic in ecology and has gained renewed interest
due to recent theoretical development. As experimental investigation of the theory is difficult …

A global model of island species–area relationships
The increase in species richness with island area (ISAR) is a well-established global
pattern, commonly described by the power model, the parameters of which are hypothesized …

Assessing metacommunity processes through signatures in spatiotemporal turnover of community composition
Although metacommunity ecology has been a major field of research in the last decades,
with both conceptual and empirical outputs, the analysis of the temporal dynamics of …

Area, isolation and climate explain the diversity of mammals on islands worldwide
Insular biodiversity is expected to be regulated differently than continental biota, but their
determinants remain to be quantified at a global scale. We evaluated the importance of …

Beta diversity patterns derived from island biogeography theory
Metacommunity theory and its constituent theory of island biogeography (TIB) have the
potential to unify ecology across different scales. The TIB has been successful in predicting …

Diversity patterns and speciation processes in a two-island system with continuous migration
D Princepe, S Czarnobai, TM Pradella, RA Caetano… - …, 2022 - academic.oup.com
Geographic isolation is a central mechanism of speciation, but perfect isolation of
populations is rare. Although speciation can be hindered if gene flow is large, intermediate …

Testing the keystone community concept: effects of landscape, patch removal, and environment on metacommunity structure
Although the influence of regional processes on local patches is well studied, the influence
of local patches and their spatial arrangement on regional processes is likely to be complex …
