Geodiversity–the abiotic heterogeneity of Earth's (sub) surface–is gaining recognition for its
ecological links to biodiversity. However, theoretical and conceptual knowledge of …

Dispersal is a key process in ecology and evolution. While the effects of dispersal on
diversity are broadly acknowledged, our understanding of the influence of diversity on …

Oceanic island floras are well known for their morphological peculiarities and exhibit striking
examples of trait evolution,–. These morphological shifts are commonly attributed to …

Aim Oceanic islands possess unique floras with high proportions of endemic species. Island
floras are expected to be severely affected by changing climatic conditions as species on …

Oceanic islands are renowned for their unique flora and high levels of endemism. Native
island plants, however, are imperilled by non‐native species that can become invasive by …

Pedodiversity is considered the cornerstone of biodiversity. This work aimed to (1) assess
pedodiversity according to vegetation, topographic factors, and lithology and to (2) identify …

Many plant traits covary with environmental gradients, reflecting shifts in adaptive strategies
and thus informing about potential consequences of future environmental change for …

Forests on oceanic islands, such as the Azores archipelago, enable interesting
dendroclimatic research, given their pronounced climatic gradients over short geographical …

ABSTRACT Aim Heterogeneity of the Earth's abiotic surface and subsurface (geodiversity) is
increasingly recognised as an important driver of biodiversity. Theoretically, species' traits …

Current models of island biogeography treat endemic and non‐endemic species as if they
were functionally equivalent, focussing primarily on species richness. Thus, the functional …
