Macroevolutionary Patterns of Phytochemical Diversity in a Macaronesian Archipelago
Global 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 ...

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