A study on coupling of the grassland pattern and the flood process in Poyang Lake based on the island biogeography theory

open access: yesJournal of Water and Climate Change, 2022
As a typical type of landscape in Poyang Lake, the largest freshwater lake in China, grassland has been deeply disturbed by the flooding process. However, how the vegetation landscape diversity responds to the flooding process of Poyang Lake remains ...

AMPHIBIAN DISTRIBUTION IN THE GEORGIA SEA ISLANDS: IMPLICATIONS FROM THE PAST AND FOR THE FUTURE [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
We summarized amphibian distributions for 12 coastal islands in Georgia, USA. Occurrence among islands was correlated with life history traits, habitats, island size, distance to other islands, and island geological age.

Spotlight on islands.On the origin and diversification of an ancient lineage of the Italian wall lizard Podarcis siculus in the western Pontine Islands [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Groups of proximate continental islands may conceal more tangled phylogeographic patterns than oceanic archipelagos as a consequence of repeated sea level changes, which allow populations to experience gene flow during periods of low sea level stands and

The macroevolutionary impact of recent and imminent mammal extinctions on Madagascar

open access: yesNature 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
