A second horizon scan of biogeography: Golden Ages, Midas touches, and the Red Queen [PDF]
Frontiers of Biogeography, 2016 Are we entering a new ‘Golden Age’ of biogeography, with continued development of infrastructure and ideas? We highlight recent developments, and the challenges and opportunities they bring, in light of the snapshot provided by the 7th biennial meeting ...

Re-evaluating the general dynamic theory of oceanic island biogeography [PDF]
Frontiers of Biogeography, 2013 The general dynamic model of oceanic island biogeography integrates temporal changes in ecological circumstances with diversification processes, and has stimulated current research in island biogeography.

Beta diversity patterns derived from island biogeography theory [PDF]
The American Naturalist, 2018 Abstract The Theory of Island Biogeography (TIB) has been successful in predicting alpha diversity patterns such as species-area relationships and species-abundance distributions. Although beta diversity (i.e. the dissimilarity of community composition) has long been recognized as an important element of the TIB and is crucial for ...

Island biogeography theory explains the genetic diversity of a fragmented rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) population. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2019 The island biogeography theory is one of the major theories in ecology, and its applicability to natural systems is well documented. The core model of the theory, the equilibrium model of island biogeography, predicts that species diversity on an island ...

Journal of Statistical Software, 2007 The distribution of abundance amongst species with similar ways of life is a classical problem in ecology. The unified neutral theory of biodiversity, due to Hubbell, states that observed population dynamics may be explained on the assumption of per ...

Journal 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 ...

Species-area relationships are controlled by species traits. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The species-area relationship (SAR) is one of the most thoroughly investigated empirical relationships in ecology. Two theories have been proposed to explain SARs: classical island biogeography theory and niche theory.

Insects and the city: what island biogeography tells us about insect conservation in urban areas [PDF]
Web Ecology, 2016 Habitat fragmentation caused by urbanization is considered a prominent threat to biodiversity. Urban development creates a mosaic of natural fragments which can be occupied by organisms able to survive in small spaces.

Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2022 The theory of island biogeography predicts that island size is a key predictor of community species richness. Islands can include any habitat surrounded environments that are inhospitable to the resident species.

SMALL ISLANDS AND THE EQUILIBRIUM THEORY OF INSULAR BIOGEOGRAPHY [PDF]
Evolution, 1969 The biotas of islands, long a favorite province of biogeographers and evolutionary biologists, have received much attention within the last few years. For example, Carlquist (1965, 1966a, 1966b, 1966c, 1967a, 1967b) has considered many aspects of insular biology including thel dispersal mechanisms which' transport disseminules to islands, the effect of
