Trophic theory of island biogeography.
MacArthur and Wilson's Theory of Island Biogeography (TIB) is among the most well-known process-based explanations for the distribution of species richness. It helps understand the species-area relationship, a fundamental pattern in ecology and an essential tool for conservation. The classic TIB does not, however, account for the complex structure of ecological systems. We extend the TIB to tak...
متن کاملIsland Biogeography: Theory and Applications
† Biological Sciences Center, Desert Research Institute, University of Nevada System, P.O. Box 60220, Reno, NV 89506-0220, U.S.A Island biogeography is the study of pattern in the distribution of species on islands as influenced by ecological and evolutionary processes related to island characteristics such as isolation and area. The MacArthur-Wilson theory of island biogeography asserts that t...
متن کاملEquilibrium Theory of Island Biogeography and Ecology
Oceanic islands and archipelagoes are intrinsically important to biologists; 5% of the land surface of the earth is insular, and if South America, which has been an island throughout most of its existence, is included the figure rises to 19%. Significant portions of the evolutionary histories of many economically and biologically important species occurred on oceanic islands, and if the earth w...

متن کاملThe reticulating phylogeny of island biogeography theory.
Biogeographers study all patterns in the geographic variation of life, from the spatial variation in genetic and physiological characteristics of cells and individuals, to the diversity and dynamics of biological communities among continental biotas or across oceanic archipelagoes. The field of island biogeography, in particular, has provided some genuinely transformative insights for the biolo...
