Understanding, modeling, and predicting the impact of global change on ecosystem
functioning across biogeographical gradients can benefit from enhanced capacity to …

In focusing on how organisms' generalizable functional properties (traits) interact
mechanistically with environments across spatial scales and levels of biological …

Climate change triggers poleward shifts in species distribution leading to changes in
biogeography. In the marine environment, fish respond quickly to warming, causing …

Hutchinson's n‐dimensional hypervolume concept for the interpretation of niches as
geometric shapes has provided a foundation for research across different fields of ecology …

Aims The 50th anniversary of the publication of the seminal book, The Theory of Island
Biogeography, by Robert H. MacArthur and Edward O. Wilson, is a timely moment to review …

Research in Macaronesia has led to substantial advances in ecology, evolution and
conservation biology. We review the scientific developments achieved in this region, and …

Island biogeography is the study of the distribution and dynamics of species in island
environments. Due to their isolation from more widespread continental species, islands are …

Island biogeography is the study of the spatio‐temporal distribution of species, communities,
assemblages or ecosystems on islands and other isolated habitats. Island diversity is …

Taxonomic diversity considers all species being equally different from each other and thus
disregards species' different ecological functions. Exploring taxonomic and functional …

The study of insular systems has a long history in ecology and biogeography. Island plants
often differ remarkably from their noninsular counterparts, constituting excellent models for …
