The diverse nature of island isolation and its effect on land bridge insular faunas [PDF]

, 2020
Aim: Isolation is a key factor in island biology. It is usually defined as the distance to the geographically nearest mainland, but many other definitions exist.

Biogeography of the West Indies: A complex scenario for species radiations in terrestrial and aquatic habitats

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Studies of the biogeography of the West Indies are numerous but not all taxonomic groups have received the same attention. Many of the contributions to this field have historically focused on terrestrial vertebrates from a perspective closely linked to ...

A molecular phylogeny of Southeast Asian Cyrtandra (Gesneriaceae) supports an emerging paradigm for Malesian plant biogeography [PDF]

, 2020
The islands of Southeast Asia comprise one of the most geologically and biogeographically complex areas in the world and are a centre of exceptional floristic diversity, harbouring 45,000 species of flowering plants.

Island Archaeology: In Search of a New Horizon [PDF]

Island Studies Journal, 2007
This paper charts the academic development of “island archaeology” from its roots in Darwinist and anthropological island studies through island biogeography to processual and post-processual archaeology.

Nitrogen-fixing symbiotic bacteria act as a global filter for plant establishment on islands

Communications Biology, 2022
Plants associated with nitrogen-fixing bacterial symbionts are disproportionately underrepresented on islands, suggesting that these bacteria might play a limiting role in island plant biogeography.

Species-area relationships are controlled by species traits. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The species-area relationship (SAR) is one of the most thoroughly investigated empirical relationships in ecology. Two theories have been proposed to explain SARs: classical island biogeography theory and niche theory.

Islands contribute disproportionately high amounts of evolutionary diversity in passerine birds [PDF]

, 2015
Island systems generally have fewer species than continental areas due to their small size and geographical isolation. Low island diversity reduces the possibility of exportation of island lineages and island systems are not thought to have a major ...
