Abstract 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 ideal places for unique species to evolve, but they are also places of concentrated extinction. Not surprisingly, they are widely studied by ecologists,

Abstract Island Biogeography: Geo-environmental Dynamics, Ecology, Evolution, Human Impact, and Conservation provides a synthetic review covering islands as model systems in the life sciences. It is centred on the study of the geographical distribution of biodiversity and how it changes through time, understood through the medium of ...

This chapter focuses on island biogeography. It shows how islands have always had a great influence on ecology, evolution, and biogeography. For mainland systems, the diversity of insular biotas is often simply characterized by their species richness, which refers to the number of species of a particular taxon.

Island biogeography of marine organisms
Nature, 2017Studies on the distribution and evolution of organisms on oceanic islands have advanced towards a dynamic perspective, where terrestrial endemicity results from island geographical aspects and geological history intertwined with sea-level fluctuations. Diversification on these islands may follow neutral models, decreasing over time as niches are filled,

Island Biogeography of Genes and Species
The American Naturalist, 2003Biodiversity is manifested at two fundamental levels: species diversity and genetic diversity. However, despite important advances in other areas of evolutionary and conservation biology that have resulted from integration of ecological and genetic perspectives (e.g., Real 1994; Young and Clarke 2000), these two levels of diversity have traditionally ...

The island biogeography of languages
Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2012ABSTRACTAim To examine the degree to which area, isolation, environmental conditions and time since first settlement explain variation in language richness among islands.Location Pacific islands ranging east–west from Rapa Nui to Indonesia and north–south from Hawaii to New Zealand.Methods We constructed a dataset of 264 Pacific islands that support ...

Experimental island biogeography
1988Although it must surely seem that experimental biogeographers have succumbed to islomania — the powerful attraction of islands — they are not alone in doing so. An inkling of the general exuberance for islands can perhaps be glimpsed from the nautical charts of the last century, which designated latitude and longitude of about 200 more islands than are
