ORIGINAL ARTICLE: A general dynamic theory of oceanic island biogeography
TL;DR: A general dynamic model (GDM) of oceanic island biogeography that aims to provide a general explanation of biodiversity patterns through describing the relationships between fundamental biogeographical processes – speciation, immigration, extinction – through time and in relation to island ontogeny is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Islands as model systems in ecology and evolution: prospects fifty years after MacArthur‐Wilson
Ben H. Warren,Ben H. Warren,Ben H. Warren,Daniel Simberloff,Robert E. Ricklefs,Robin Aguilée,Fabien L. Condamine,Dominique Gravel,Hélène Morlon,Nicolas Mouquet,James Rosindell,Juliane Casquet,Elena Conti,Josselin Cornuault,José María Fernández-Palacios,Tomislav Hengl,Sietze J. Norder,Kenneth F. Rijsdijk,Isabel Sanmartín,Dominique Strasberg,Kostas A. Triantis,Luis M. Valente,Robert J. Whittaker,Rosemary G. Gillespie,Brent C. Emerson,Christophe Thébaud +25 more
TL;DR: P prospects for research on islands are highlighted to improve understanding of the ecology and evolution of communities in general and how attributes of islands combine to provide unusual research opportunities, the implications of which stretch far beyond islands.
Journal ArticleDOI
Island biogeography: Taking the long view of nature’s laboratories
Robert J. Whittaker,Robert J. Whittaker,José María Fernández-Palacios,Thomas J. Matthews,Thomas J. Matthews,Michael K. Borregaard,Kostas A. Triantis +6 more
TL;DR: Developments in theory and in analytical and modeling capabilities within biological and Earth system science, and the pooling of large numbers of data sets, enhancing statistical power, collectively hold the promise of a new synthesis in island biogeography.
Journal ArticleDOI
The island species–area relationship: biology and statistics
Kostas A. Triantis,Kostas A. Triantis,François Guilhaumon,François Guilhaumon,François Guilhaumon,Robert J. Whittaker,Robert J. Whittaker +6 more
TL;DR: Over most scales of space, ISARs are best represented by the power model and other simple models, while more complex, sigmoid models may be applicable when the spatial range exceeds three orders of magnitude.
Journal ArticleDOI
A model for the species–area–habitat relationship
Kostas A. Triantis,Kostas A. Triantis,M. Mylonas,M. Mylonas,Konstadia Lika,Katerina Vardinoyannis +5 more
TL;DR: A model is proposed (the choros model) for species diversity, which embodies number of species, area and habitat diversity and mathematically unifies area per se and habitat hypotheses.
