Comment on 'Island biogeography: patterns of marine shallow-water organisms' by Hachich et al., Journal of Biogeography (2015) [PDF]

, 2016
In a recent article, Hachich et al. ( 2015, Journal of Biogeography, 42, 1871-1882) studied the large-scale biogeographical patterns of the species-area, species-island age and species-isolation relationships associated with marine shallow-water groups (

The macroevolutionary impact of recent and imminent mammal extinctions on Madagascar

Nature Communications, 2023
Madagascar is a threatened biodiversity hotspot. Here, using a newly assembled dataset and island biogeography models, the authors estimate how many millions of years of evolutionary history have been lost since human colonisation and may be further lost

New directions in island biogeography [PDF]

, 2016
Aim: Much of our current understanding of ecological and evolutionary processes comes from island research. With the increasing availability of data on distributions and phylogenetic relationships and new analytical approaches to understanding the ...

A generalized model of island biogeography [PDF]

Science China Life Sciences, 2011
MacArthur and Wilson's equilibrium theory is one of the most influential theories in ecology. Although evolution on islands is to be important to island biodiversity, speciation has not been well integrated into island biogeography models. By incorporating speciation and factors influencing it into the MacArthur-Wilson model, we propose a generalized ...

ETIB‐T: An Equilibrium Theory of Island Biogeography for plant traits

, 2022
Aim: The Equilibrium Theory of Island Biogeography (ETIB) posits that species richness on islands represents a dynamic equilibrium between immigration and extinction.

Avian phylogenetic and functional diversity and their influencing factors in urban parks of Nanjing, China

Avian Research
The acceleration of global urbanization has caused habitat loss, fragmentation, and decrease of habitat quality, often leading to a decline in biodiversity.

Variation in reproductive life-history traits of Chinese Bulbuls (Pycnonotus sinensis) along the urbanization gradient in Hangzhou, China

Avian Research, 2023
Urbanization brings new selection pressures to wildlife living in cities, and changes in the life-history traits of urban species can reflect their responses to such pressures.

Multidimensional nestedness patterns and underlying processes of bird assemblages in the Zhoushan Archipelago, China

Avian Research
Nestedness is one of the important patterns in island biogeography, community ecology and conservation biology. However, most previous nestedness studies focus on the taxonomic dimension while neglecting the functional and phylogenetic processes in ...
