On the biogeography of habitat islands: the importance of matrix effects, noncore species, and source-sink dynamics
TJ Matthews - The Quarterly Review of Biology, 2021 - journals.uchicago.edu
Habitat islands can be defined as distinct patches of habitat surrounded by less contrasting
matrix types. In contrast to true island biogeography (traditionally the study of islands …

A general framework for species‐abundance distributions: Linking traits and dispersal to explain commonness and rarity
Species‐abundance distributions (SADs) describe the spectrum of commonness and rarity
in a community. Beyond the universal observation that most species are rare and only a few …
