Journal ArticleDOI
Island Species Richness Increases with Habitat Diversity
TL;DR: It is shown that species richness on islands usually increases with habitat diversity and that it never decreases, and critically examine the assumptions of the theoretical model and modify them to incorporate a less restrictive definition of niche width.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adapting the IUCN Red List criteria for invertebrates
Pedro Cardoso,Pedro Cardoso,Paulo A. V. Borges,Kostas A. Triantis,Kostas A. Triantis,M. A. Ferrández,José L. Martín +6 more
TL;DR: Evaluating 48 species of Azorean arthropods and Iberian spiders and suggesting possible new criteria that were not considered in the current evaluation framework that could allow a more comprehensive and effective assessment of invertebrates shows that co-extinction could be introduced as an explicit part of the classification process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extinction debt on oceanic islands

Santos,Isabel R. Amorim,Sérvio P. Ribeiro,Artur R. M. Serrano,Jose Alberto Quartau,Robert J. Whittaker +16 more
TL;DR: In this article, a method that uses the historical sequence of deforestation in the Azorean Islands, to calculate realistic and ecologically adjusted species-area relationships was used to reveal dramatic and hitherto unrecognized levels of extinction debt, as a result of the extensive destruction of the native forest.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A collaborative horizon-scanning approach to identify 50 fundamental questions for the continued development of island biology, covering fields ranging from biogeography, community ecology and evolution to global change, may help to foster the formation of interdisciplinary research networks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impacts of global climate change on the floras of oceanic islands – Projections, implications and current knowledge
David E. V. Harter,Severin D. H. Irl,Bumsuk Seo,Manuel J. Steinbauer,Rosemary G. Gillespie,Kostas A. Triantis,José María Fernández-Palacios,Carl Beierkuhnlein +7 more
TL;DR: The suitability of oceanic islands and their ecosystems for potential research on the field of climate change ecology is highlighted, implications for adequate research approaches are given and knowledge gaps and uncertainties are depicted.
