TESTING ISLAND BIOGEOGRAPHY THEORY USING SMALL MAMMALS ON ISLANDS IN LAKE LANIER, GEORGIA
Much has been written on the theory of island biogeography and the importance of island size and connectivity to the resident community. This theoretical work typically has been tested on large marine islands, but few studies have looked at how ...

Distribution, Habitat Use and Conservation of the Bornean Ferret Badger
The Bornean ferret badger (Melogale everetti) is an Endangered, range‐restricted carnivore whose ecology and distribution remain poorly known. Using multi‐site camera‐trap surveys across Sabah's western mountain massif combined with habitat suitability and connectivity modelling, we documented 407 detections from 60 stations, including the first ...

The biogeography and biodiversity of the Namibian intertidal seaweed flora
Bibliography: leaves 149-160.There have been very few intertidal studies carried out on the Namibian coast. With respect to seaweeds in particular there have been a number of species lists and shore descriptions, but very little research into the ...

Field photograph of an ancient Nothofagus tree covered with epiphytic lichens in the Patagonian temperate rainforest. This genus serves as a key model for investigating organellar introgression and evolutionary genomics in South America. ABSTRACT Hybridization is widespread across diverse groups of organisms, and in some cases, organellar genomes of ...

Using citizen‐science records, we analysed ecogeographic patterns of colour polymorphism in two closely related centipede species across Japan. While two colour morphs in Scolopendra mutilans are broadly sympatric, they are geographically restricted in S. japonica despite overlapping climatic niches and biotic interactions.

The Role of Theory in Biology: How You Can Be, and Likely Already Are, a Theoretician
Theory is an inextricable component of the scientific process. Nonetheless, many researchers have an uneasy relationship with theory. This paper provides tools to empower researchers to place their work within a theoretical framework, and to aid them in building and using theories. ABSTRACT Theory is an inextricable component of the scientific process.

The Mechanistic Approach of \u27The Theory of Island Biogeography\u27 and its Current Relevance
Philosophers of science have examined The Theory of Island Biogeography by Robert MacArthur and E. O. Wilson (1967) mainly due to its important contribution to modeling in ecology, but they have not examined it as a representative case of ecological ...

Ocean warming is driving the redistribution of species at a global scale. Biogeographic transition zones are hotspots of species range shifts, as both warm‐ and cold‐adapted species are found toward contrasting range edges. While anecdotal evidence suggests some distributional shifts have occurred in the northeast Atlantic, the empirical evidence base ...
