Plant species richness hotspots and related drivers across spatial scales in small Mediterranean islands
Small islands represent a common feature in the Mediterranean and host a significant
fraction of its biodiversity. However, the distribution of plant species richness across spatial …

The integration of the small‐island effect and nestedness pattern
Aim The small‐island effect (SIE) and nestedness are two important patterns in the fields of
island biogeography and community ecology. However, to date, no study has tried to …

There is room for everyone: Invasion credit cannot be inferred from the species–area relationship in fragmented forests
Questions Land use change, habitat fragmentation and biological invasion represent major
drivers of global change that strongly interact to alter ecosystems. Following the breaking …

Functional traits explain non-native plant species richness and occupancy on northern New Zealand islands
Plant functional traits can greatly influence invasion success on islands. However,
interrelationships between traits and invasion success are rarely integrated with the island …
