Diversity regulation at macro-scales: species richness on oceanic archipelagos
Kostas A. Triantis,Kostas A. Triantis,Evan P. Economo,Evan P. Economo,François Guilhaumon,François Guilhaumon,Robert E. Ricklefs +6 more
TL;DR: An unexpected parallel scaling of species richness of four taxa with area and number of islands for the major oceanic archipelagos of the globe is demonstrated, indicating that similar mechanisms have created variation in diversity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Are species–area relationships from entire archipelagos congruent with those of their constituent islands?
Ana M. C. Santos,Ana M. C. Santos,Robert J. Whittaker,Kostas A. Triantis,Kostas A. Triantis,Paulo A. V. Borges,Owen R. Jones,Donald L. J. Quicke,Donald L. J. Quicke,Joaquín Hortal +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the Arrhenius logarithmic form of the power model to establish the extent to which archipelagos follow the same species-area relationship as their constituent islands and explore the factors that may explain departures from the relationship.
Journal ArticleDOI
Species richness can decrease with altitude but not with habitat diversity
Joaquín Hortal,Luis M. Carrascal,Kostas A. Triantis,Kostas A. Triantis,Kostas A. Triantis,Elisa Thébault,Shai Meiri,Spyros Sfenthourakis +7 more
TL;DR: The unimodal relationship between altitudinal range and richness merely reflects the well-known hump-shaped relationship between species richness and altitude (4), not a tradeoff between richness and environmental heterogeneity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Island biogeography is not a single‐variable discipline: the small island effect debate
TL;DR: Dengler (2010) addresses a number of conceptual and methodological issues concerning the nature and the detection of the SIE but fails to settle conclusively most of the issues he raises, and it is argued that his approach is theoretically flawed, especially in its treatment of habitat diversity.
Journal ArticleDOI
A global model of island species-area relationships.
TL;DR: It is shown that island species diversity patterns are shaped by intra-archipelago processes more strongly than by isolation from mainland source pools, obscuring the diversity patterns predicted by island theory as a function of archipelago isolation.
