ETIB‐T: An Equilibrium Theory of Island Biogeography for plant traits
, 2022 Aim: The Equilibrium Theory of Island Biogeography (ETIB) posits that species richness on islands represents a dynamic equilibrium between immigration and extinction.

Factors in the Distribution of Mycorrhizal and Soil Fungi
Diversity, 2022 Soil fungi are crucial microorganisms in the functioning of ecosystems. They shape the soil properties, facilitate nutrient circulation, and assist with plant growth.

An equilibrium theory signature in the island biogeography of human parasites and pathogens
, 2015 Aim Our understanding of the ecology and biogeography of microbes, including those that cause human disease, lags behind that for larger species. Despite recent focus on the geographical distribution of viruses and bacteria, the overall environmental ...

Studies on diversity and biogeography of island bryophytes:significances, progress and dircetion
上海师范大学学报. 自然科学版, 2016 There are few studies on bryophytes diversity and biogeography of bryophytes in coastal islands.Our reviews on bryophyte diversity and biogeography of bryophytes on islands showed disputes existing on breeding characteristics,spreading ability of ...

Diversity, 2023 Most studies on island biogeography have focused on the terrestrial taxa; however, there are few studies on the drivers of diversity and community structure of intertidal organisms on islands. We evaluated the effect of landscape and marine environmental

Diversity, 2023 One of the aims of island biogeography theory is to explain the number of species in an archipelago. Traditionally, the variables used to explain the species richness on an island are its area and distance to the mainland.

The general dynamic model:towards a unified theory of island biogeography?
, 2016 Aim: Island biogeography focuses on understanding the processes that underlie a set of well-described patterns on islands, but it lacks a unified theoretical framework for integrating these processes.

The Theory of Island Biogeography on the Hawaiki Archipelago [PDF]
, 2021 <p>This thesis addresses MacArthur and Wilson‟s Theory of Island Biogeography (1967) on a set of islands around the north-east coast of the North Island of New Zealand. The flora species lists from these islands were obtained from both published and unpublished island surveys whilst Geographical Information Systems (GIS) techniques were utilised ...

The Dynamic Hypercube as a Niche Community Model
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Different models of community dynamics, such as the MacArthur–Wilson theory of island biogeography and Hubbell’s neutral theory, have given us useful insights into the workings of ecological communities.
