Relative importance of abiotic and biotic variables on two community-level (i.e. community-weighed mean [CWM]) plant functional traits: (a) the specific leaf area (SLA), (b) the leaf dry matter content (LDMC) and (c) the leaf thickness (LT).

Relative importance of abiotic and biotic variables on two community-level (i.e. community-weighed mean [CWM]) plant functional traits: (a) the specific leaf area (SLA), (b) the leaf dry matter content (LDMC) and (c) the leaf thickness (LT).

Climate factors and island area drive leaf economic trait variation by altering plant species richness and soil properties on tropical islands.

Morphological Evolution in Island Birds Is Associated With More Terrestrial Lifestyles and a Lower Number of Raptors and Intra‐Family Competitors Aim Island biotas experience unique ecological conditions, such as isolation, small areas, or simplified communities that promote repeated patterns of evolution like changes in body size, that have ...

New study overturns long-held assumptions about how plants spread to #islands
A new study from #Iceland’s #Surtsey island shows that #birds carried most of the #plants that colonised the island, challenging long-held beliefs that seed or fruit shape determines how plants spread […]

Virtual endocast of the Late Miocene Hoplitomeryx matthei (Artiodactyla, Hoplitomerycidae) and brain evolution in insular ruminants | Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences Mammals often follow peculiar evolutionary trajectories on islands, with some Pleistocene insular large mammals exhibiting reduced relative brain size. However, the antiquity of this phenomenon remains unclear. Here, we report the first digital endocast ...

The was an excellent article sometime back in Geography Review about bracken. The squirrels on Flathom have cancer but not Steepholm [or the other way round] due to the presence of cancer - if I remember correctly #islandBiogeography

Edward O Wilson, naturalist known as a ‘modern-day Darwin’, dies aged 92 Influence of Harvard entomologist who specialised in study of ant extends to UN conservation efforts

I met EO Wilson in Harvard when I was 23 years old. Imagine the impression he made in such a young aspiring scientist. His work in #Islandbiogeography, among others still accurately predicts sps richness all over. What a loss.. https://t.co/H4htZfinGH
