Global insular leaf size shifts follow the island rule, independently of insect herbivory and macroclimate

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 2, February 2026.
We found a positive, non‐linear, saturating relationship between mainland and island leaf sizes, reflecting an island rule‐like pattern. Small‐leaved mainland species tend to develop larger leaves on islands, while this effect weakens for larger‐leaved species, a pattern consistent across both conspecific and congeneric comparisons. Abstract The island

Plant conservation in a changing Mediterranean world

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 49-72, January 2026.
The Mediterranean is one of five climatic regions on the planet characterised by a prolonged summer drought, exceptional plant diversity and high rates of endemism. We provide a framework to link the ecology of plant species conservation in the context of rapid and extreme climate deregulation to a philosophical typology of temporal attitudes (i.e ...

Trade and socioeconomic importance of an invasive giant snail in the endemic‐rich island of São Tomé, Central Africa

Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 5, October 2024.
Abstract Managing invasive species is crucial to mitigate their negative impacts on ecosystems, yet conflicts may arise when their social benefits are disregarded. Human pressure on the endemic‐rich forests of São Tomé has been high since the island was discovered by the Portuguese in the 15th century, and numerous species have been introduced.

Phylogeography of the Iberian endemic butterfly Erebia palarica Chapman, 1905 (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae): An integrative approach Filoxeografía do endemismo ibérico Erebia palarica Chapman, 1905 (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae): un enfoque integrador

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 17, Issue 4, Page 651-675, July 2024.
A double star‐like pattern in the COI haplotype network of Erebia palarica suggests a demographic expansion from two ancestral populations in this Iberian montane endemic. Seven microsatellite markers revealed a pattern of isolation by distance (IBD) along the Cantabrian Mountains, as opposed to different levels of genetic structure found in western ...

Geoclimatic drivers of diversification in the largest arid and semi‐arid environment of the Neotropics: Perspectives from phylogeography

Molecular Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 14, July 2024.
Abstract The South American Dry Diagonal, also called the Diagonal of Open Formations, is a large region of seasonally dry vegetation extending from northeastern Brazil to northern Argentina, comprising the Caatinga, Cerrado, and Chaco subregions. A growing body of phylogeography literature has determined that a complex history of climatic changes ...

Evaluating ecosystem protection and fragmentation of the world's major mountain regions

Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 3, June 2024.
Abstract Conserving mountains is important for protecting biodiversity because they have high beta diversity and endemicity, facilitate species movement, and provide numerous ecosystem benefits for people. Mountains are often thought to have lower levels of human modification and contain more protected area than surrounding lowlands.
