A General Dynamic Theory of Oceanic Island Biogeography: Extending the MacArthur- Wilson Theory to Accommodate the Rise and Fall of Volcanic Islands
TL;DR: A theory attempts to identify the factors that determine a class of phenomena and to state the permissible relationships among the factors as mentioned in this paper... substituting one theory for many facts, a good theory points to possible factors and relationships in the real world that would otherwise remain hidden and thus stimulates new forms of empirical research.
Journal ArticleDOI
sars: an R package for fitting, evaluating and comparing species–area relationship models
Thomas J. Matthews,Thomas J. Matthews,Kostas A. Triantis,Robert J. Whittaker,Robert J. Whittaker,François Guilhaumon +5 more
TL;DR: Sars as discussed by the authors is a R package that provides a wide variety of SAR-related functionality, including the ability to fit 20 SAR models using non-linear and linear regression, calculate multi-model averaged curves using various information criteria, and generate confidence intervals using bootstrapping.
general dynamic model of oceanic island biogeography using linear mixed effect models
Robert A. D. Cameron,Kostas A. Triantis,Christine E. Parent,R. Alonso,Richard J. Ladle,Robert J. Whittaker +5 more
TL;DR: The GDM is an intentionally simplified representation of environmental and diversity dynamics on oceanic islands, which predicts a simple positive relationship between diversity and island area combined with a humped response to time, and finds broad support for the applicability of this model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extinction debt and the species–area relationship: a neutral perspective
TL;DR: The modelling approach supports the view that a significant proportion of extinctions are delayed, so that the predictions of SARs are liable to underestimate total extinctions, and agrees well with observed relaxation rates in communities of birds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thresholds and the species–area relationship: a synthetic analysis of habitat island datasets
Thomas J. Matthews,Thomas J. Matthews,Manuel J. Steinbauer,Elli Tzirkalli,Elli Tzirkalli,Kostas A. Triantis,Kostas A. Triantis,Robert J. Whittaker,Robert J. Whittaker +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparative analysis of piecewise regression models to determine the prevalence and type of thresholds in habitat island ISARs is provided, with particular emphasis on the implications of data transformation.
