DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3766
Abstract: Abstract Diversity in habitat patches is partly driven by variation in patch size, which affects extinction, and isolation, which affects immigration. Patch size also affects immigration as a component of patch quality. In wetland ecosystems,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.tplants.2019.12.022
Abstract: 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 exploring eco-evolutionary processes. Trait-based approaches can help to answer… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0376892917000121
Abstract: SUMMARY Because of their isolation, biotic communities of urban green spaces are expected to be similar to those of oceanic islands. This should be particularly true for insects, which represent an important component of urban… read more here.

From island biogeography to landscape and metacommunity ecology: A macroecological perspective of bat communities
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences"
DOI: 10.1111/nyas.14785
Abstract: The equilibrium theory of island biogeography and its quantitative consideration of origination and extinction dynamics as they relate to island area and distance from source populations have evolved over time and enriched theory related to… read more here.
