Global patterns in the phylogenetic structure of island mammal assemblages.
Assemblage-level phylogenies carry the signature of ecological and evolutionary processes, which may provide useful information on modes of assemblage formation. We present a global-scale analysis of the emergent phylogenetic properties of mammal assemblages on islands, in which we compared the structure of 595 island assemblages with null models constructed under four alternative definitions o...

متن کاملMark and Baylis: Secretary Island Vegetation
The continuing effects of red deer on the rain forest of Fiordland's Secretary Island (80 km2) over the last six years are described in relation to their initial impact and control operations. On easily accessible sites the range of affected species is increasing as the most palatable become depleted while some previously unmodified sites are now threatened. Photographic records, quantitative s...
متن کاملComposition and structure of Caribbean bat (Chiroptera) assemblages: effects of inter-island distance, area, elevation and hurricane-induced disturbance
Aim Although bats of the Caribbean have been studied extensively, previous work is largely restricted to zoogeography, phylogeography or the effects of island characteristics on species richness. Variation among islands in species composition that is related to geographical or environmental variation remains poorly understood for much of the Caribbean. Location Caribbean islands, including the ...
متن کاملThe Vegetation of Subantarctic Campbell Island
The vegetation of Campbell Island and its offshore islets was sampled quantitatively at 140 sites. Data from the 134 sites with more than one vascular plant species were subjected to multivariate analysis. Out of a total of 140 indigenous and widespread adventive species known from the island group, 124 vascular species were recorded; 85 non-vascular cryptogams or species aggregates play a majo...
