The general dynamic model of oceanic island biogeography (GDM) has added a new
dimension to theoretical island biogeography in recognizing that geological processes are …

The Aegean archipelago, comprising numerous islands and islets with great heterogeneity
in topographic, geological, historical and environmental properties, offers an ideal natural …

Abstract Aim MacArthur and Wilson's dynamic equilibrium model of island biogeography
provides a powerful framework for understanding the ecological processes acting on insular …

Macaronesia is a biogeographical region comprising five Atlantic Oceanic archipelagos: the
Azores, Madeira, Selvagen (Savage Islands), Canaries and Cape Verde. It has strong …

Islands harbour a significant portion of all plant species worldwide. Their biota are often
characterized by narrow distributions and are particularly susceptible to biological invasions …

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 …

Clade dynamics in the fossil record broadly fit expectations from the operation of
competition, predation, and mutualism, but data from both modern and ancient systems …

Abstract Aim The General Dynamic Model (GDM) links island biogeographical processes to
island geological history. A key premise of the GDM implies that environmental factors …

Understanding speciation on oceanic islands is a major topic in current research on island
biogeography. Within this context, it is not an easy task to differentiate between the influence …

Aim We assessed the biogeographical implications of Pleistocene sea‐level fluctuations on
the surface area of Macaronesian volcanic oceanic islands. We quantified the effects of sea …
