Island macroecology

2023
Abstract ‘Island macroecology’ reviews the emergent statistical properties of island biotas. It depicts MacArthur and Wilson’s 1967 equilibrium theory of island biogeography, describing how area and isolation control rates of immigration, extinction, and cladogenesis.

From island biogeography to landscape and metacommunity ecology: A macroecological perspective of bat communities

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2022
AbstractThe equilibrium theory of island biogeography and its quantitative consideration of origination and extinction dynamics as they relate to island area and distance from source populations have evolved over time and enriched theory related to many disciplines in spatial ecology. Indeed, the island focus was catalytic to the emergence of landscape

Macroecology and the Theory of Island Biogeography: Abundant Utility for Applications in Restoration Ecology

2016
Restoration ecologists are tasked with the challenge of returning an ecological system to a configuration that approximates its natural state (Hobbs and Norton 1996, 2001). Restoring any altered ecosystem comprises a sizeable challenge in that it is critical to determine the appropriate target for restoration (chap. 1), especially prior to disturbances

Species numbers games: the macroecology of island biotas

2006
Abstract Having established the biogeographical significance of islands, we now move on to the theories that have been developed from their study. We take our lead from Robert H. MacArthur and Edward O. Wilson’s (1967) classic monograph The theory of island biogeography, by working from a consideration of ecological patterns and ...
