Island Biogeography

2016
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.

Linking Plant Functional Ecology to Island Biogeography

Trends in Plant Science, 2020
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 exploring eco-evolutionary processes. Trait-based approaches can help to answer important questions in island biogeography, yet plant trait patterns on islands remain ...

Island Biogeography Theory and Conservation Practice

Science, 1976
The application of island biogeography theory to conservation practice is premature. Theoretically and empirically, a major conclusion of such applications—that refuges should always consist of the largest possible single area—can be incorrect under a variety of biologically feasible conditions.

Experimental island biogeography

1988
Although 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

Island Biogeography of Genes and Species

The American Naturalist, 2003
Biodiversity 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 ...
