Birds are islands for parasites.
Understanding the mechanisms driving the extraordinary diversification of parasites is a major challenge in evolutionary biology. Co-speciation, one proposed mechanism that could contribute to this diversity is hypothesized to result from allopatric co-divergence of host-parasite populations. We found that island populations of the Galápagos hawk (Buteo galapagoensis) and a parasitic feather lo...
متن کاملWhen are habitat patches really islands?
Here we present a method for determining whether habitat patches are truly functioning as habitat islands. We do so by assessing if the species distribution pattern across the islands, when compared to a mainland pattern, conforms to the predictions of the theory of island biogeography. The putative islands in our study are a series of hummocks in a swamp in the ES George Reserve, Pinckney, MI....
متن کاملGenomic islands are dynamic, ancient integrative elements in bacterial evolution.
Acquisition of genomic islands plays a central part in bacterial evolution as a mechanism of diversification and adaptation. Genomic islands are non-self-mobilizing integrative and excisive elements that encode diverse functional characteristics but all contain a recombination module comprised of an integrase, associated attachment sites and, in some cases, a recombination directionality factor...

متن کاملAre islands the end of the colonization road?
Ecologists have, up to now, widely regarded colonization of islands from continents as a one-way journey, mainly because of widely accepted assertions that less diverse island communities are easier to invade. However, continents present large targets and island species should be capable of making the reverse journey, considering they are the direct descendants of successful colonists and provi...
