Plant invasions, a byproduct of globalization, are increasing worldwide. Because of their
ecological and economic impacts, considerable efforts have been made to understand and …

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 …

Aim To understand how functional traits and evolutionary history shape the geographic
distribution of plant life on Earth, we need to integrate high‐quality and global‐scale …

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 …

Karyological characteristics are among the traits underpinning the invasion success of
vascular plants. Using 11 049 species, we tested the effects of genome size and ploidy …

Advancing knowledge of biodiversity requires global open‐access databases. Having large‐
scale information on plant distributions, functional traits and evolutionary history will enable …

The megadiverse plant family Asteraceae forms an iconic component of island floras
including many spectacular radiations, but a global picture of its insular diversity is lacking …

Island disharmony refers to the biased representation of higher taxa on islands compared to
their mainland source regions and represents a central concept in island biology. Here, we …

One central concept in island biology is that island assemblages form subsets of the
mainland species pool, being disproportionately rich or poor in certain taxonomic groups …

Among flowering plants, self‐compatibility, longer lifespan, and generalized pollination
syndrome are each thought to increase the lifetime odds of finding a mate, particularly in …
