DOI: 10.1016/j.zool.2020.125802
Abstract: The pattern of shell shape variation in populations of the top shell, Phorcus sauciatus from Madeira Island (NE Atlantic) was analysed as a function of substrate type and wave exposure, using geometric morphometrics. We hypothesized… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-74559-y
Abstract: Because the heat island effect can make cities warmer than their surroundings, it can make urban dwellers uncomfortable and even affect their health, which is particularly pronounced in developed cities in southern China. To reduce… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/cz/zox038
Abstract: Abstract The small-island effect (SIE) has become more and more part of the theoretical framework of island biogeography and biodiversity research. However, previous methods for the detection of SIEs are often flawed in one way… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/femsec/fiaa186
Abstract: Desert and semi-desert plants are often associated with a distinct soil biota under the plants and close to the root system. We aimed to understand if similar effects could be found in the taxonomically isolated… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jbi.13790
Abstract: The species–area relationship (SAR) and the small‐island effect (SIE) are of important ecological significance. However, few studies have focused on these topics in regard to bryophytes. We aimed to (1) determine whether SIEs and a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jbi.14613
Abstract: 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 integrate the SIE and nestedness pattern. Therefore, the… read more here.
