The Chronotope and the Study of Literary Adaptation : The Case of Robinson Crusoe [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
This paper proposes a reflection on the potential of the chronotope as a heuristic tool in the field of adaptation studies. My goal is to situate the chronotope in the context of adaptation studies, specifically with regard to perhaps the most central ...

Macroevolutionary Patterns of Phytochemical Diversity in a Macaronesian Archipelago

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Plant specialised metabolites are highly diverse and serve various functions, yet the different forms of phytochemical complexity and their drivers are often not fully understood. In this context, islands provide a valuable opportunity to explore the drivers of phytochemical diversity and its adaptive significance, owing to their unique ...

Cloud Forest Tree Growth Responses to Climate and Drought Vary by Island and Species in the Macaronesian Region

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 4, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Macaronesian cloud forests are insular ecosystems subjected to local environmental variability, but the responses of their tree species to climate variations have never been studied. Our aim was to assess how the variation in environmental conditions associated with the geographical location of several islands in three Macaronesian ...

Neo‐Endogenous Local Development, Tourism, and International Immigration in El Hierro, Spain

open access: yesTijdschrift voor Economische en Sociale Geografie, Volume 116, Issue 2, Page 131-145, April 2025.
Immigrant entrepreneurs introduce innovations in services and products and cultivate social capital within El Hierro local community, particularly among other foreign‐born immigrants, and through transnational networks. These factors contribute to promoting horizontal integration among business, making the island a prime example of neo‐endogenous ...

Geographic and Biological Drivers Shape Anthropogenic Extinctions in the Macaronesian Vascular Flora

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 2, February 2025.
The anthropogenic extinction patterns and processes of the vascular flora in the model island region of Macaronesia have been investigated in the present study. We compiled all known extinction records, both at global and local scales, across the five archipelagos comprising the region (Azores, Madeira, Salvajes, Canary Islands, and Cabo Verde).

Insights Into Mantle Plume Geochemistry From Machine Learning

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract Oceanic island basalts are the products of mantle plume melting and their chemistry provides insights into the Earth's deep interior. We report a statistical and machine learning study of 8 radiogenic isotopes and 19 incompatible trace element ratios in basalts from 27 oceanic island volcanic chains associated with mantle plumes compiled from ...

Intercolonial Cinnamon: Fashioning Connections from the Eighteenth to Mid‐Nineteenth Centuries

open access: yesHistory, Volume 110, Issue 389, Page 49-67, January 2025.
Abstract It is well known that the quest for spices fuelled navigational endeavours during early modern history, acting as a gateway to conquest. Historians from the field have often focused on the relations between the colonies and the colonised, but what role did this play in the forging of intercolonial connections? By delving into the allure of one
