Island time and the interplay between ecology and evolution in species diversification. [PDF]

, 2015
Research on the dynamics of biodiversity has progressed tremendously over recent years, although in two separate directions - ecological, to determine change over space at a given time, and evolutionary, to understand change over time.

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.

Differential temporal beta‐diversity patterns of native and non‐native arthropod species in a fragmented native forest landscape [PDF]

, 2018
An important factor that hinders the management of non‐native species is a general lack of information regarding the biogeography of non‐natives, and, in particular, their rates of turnover.

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 ...

Phylogenetic and distributional data on boletoid fungi (Boletaceae) in Cyprus and description of a new sampling methodology

Data in Brief, 2019
The data presented here was obtained during a decade-long macromycete inventory on the island of Cyprus and is supplementary to the research article “Present status and future of boletoid fungi (Boletaceae) on the island of Cyprus: cryptic and threatened

Body size changes in passerine birds introduced to New Zealand from the UK [PDF]

, 2013
One feature of global geographic variation in avian body sizes is that they are larger on isolated islands than on continental regions. Therefore, this study aims to assess whether there have been changes in body size following successful establishment ...

Molecular phylogenetics and systematics of two enteric helminth parasites (Baylisascaris laevis and Diandrya vancouverensis) in the Vancouver Island marmot (Marmota vancouverensis)

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2022
Island biogeography can promote rapid diversification and speciation via geographic isolation and novel selection pressures. These same factors can threaten the persistence of island endemics by limiting gene flow and suitable habitat.
