Systematics and phylogeography of the Dysdera erythrina species complex (Araneae, Dysderidae) in Sardinia

open access: yes, 2009
Sardinia is the second largest island in the Mediterranean and, together with Corsica and nearby mainland areas, one of the top biodiversity hotspots in the region.

Global distribution and biogeography of ericoid mycorrhizal fungi

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Global predictions of local ericoid mycorrhizal fungal richness, its latitudinal trends and environmental predictors. Summary Ericoid mycorrhizal (ErM) fungi play a crucial role across terrestrial ecosystems, forming mutualistic symbiosis with Ericaceae and contributing to soil organic matter dynamics.

Theory of Island Biogeography on a Microscopic Scale: Organic Aggregates as Islands for Aquatic Pathogens

open access: yes, 2010
Four predictions of the MacArthur-Wilson theory of island biogeography were evaluated to assess the degree to which detrital-based organic aggregates (e.g. marine snow, organic detritus, and bioflocs) may provide a favorable microhabitat (i.e.

Ibero‐Balearic plant disjunctions: genomic support for rapid and recurrent long‐distance colonizations of the endangered Diplotaxis ibicensis (Brassicaceae) despite no dispersal syndromes

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Genotyping‐by‐sequencing data reveal six well‐defined clades in the endangered Diplotaxis ibicensis, endemic to the western Mediterranean Basin and indicate rapid and recurrent long‐distance colonisations across the Balearic Islands and the eastern Iberian coast despite the absence of dispersal syndromes.

Oceanic island biogeography through the lens of the General Dynamic Model: assessment and prospect

open access: yes, 2016
The general dynamic model of oceanic island biogeography (GDM) has added a new dimension to theoretical island biogeography in recognizing that geological processes are key drivers of the evolutionary processes of diversification and extinction within ...

Return of the ants: investigating temporal and spatial patterns of ant colonization in unsealed schoolyards

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Urban soil unsealing, the removal of impervious surface layers, is increasingly promoted as a habitat restoration strategy to enhance ecosystem resilience in cities. Yet, its potential to support soil biodiversity from the onset remains underexplored.

Colonisation History of Freshwater Snails Across the Atlantic and Mediterranean Islands: Insights From Mercuria (Littorinimorpha, Hydrobiidae)

open access: yesZoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Islands harbour unique biodiversity, and depending on their geological origin, they have fundamentally different colonisation histories: continental islands may contain relict faunas shaped by vicariance and sporadic gene flow, whereas oceanic islands must have been colonised across open seas, often through long‐distance dispersal events ...

On the Truly Noncooperative Game of Island Life: Introducing a Unified Theory of Value & Evolutionarily Stable Island Economic Development Strategy

open access: yes
This discourse offers a solution to The Problem of Sustainable Economic Development on islands. This hypothesis offers a foundational, sub-game solution to The Island Survival Game, a counterintuitive, dominant economic development strategy for ‘islands’
