Island 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...

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...

Strategy and Limitations increased catecholamine metabolism) in the central nervous system (10), the hippocampus could be one of the sites of this restoration process. The electrical activity of the hippocampus is unusual. While the rest of the brain shows a desynchronized EEG pattern during attention, learning, and paradoxical sleep, the hippocampus displays a syrichronized electrical activity...
