Contradiction in conservation of island ecosystems: Plants, introduced herbivores and avian scavengers in the Canary Islands [PDF]
, 2012 Introduction of alien herbivores in sensitive island systems has resulted in massive effects on vegetation cover, floristic richness and composition of communities; some species can be even totally extirpated by grazing pressure.

Potential of Ex Situ Conservation Strains Revealed by Genetic Analysis of Oceanic Islands' Endangered Species Pittosporum parvifolium. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe Ogasawara Islands, home to the critically endangered shrub Pittosporum parvifolium, have seen significant conservation efforts, yet challenges remain due to insufficient critical information. Our study used simple sequence repeat markers to reveal high genetic diversity in both in situ and ex situ populations, with unique genotypes found in each ...

Topography-driven isolation, speciation and a global increase of endemism with elevation [PDF]
, 2016 Aim: Higher-elevation areas on islands and continental mountains tend to be separated by longer distances, predicting higher endemism at higher elevations; our study is the first to test the generality of the predicted pattern.
