Land-use change interacts with island biogeography to alter bird community asse...
Zhao, Yuhao; Mendenhall, Chase D.; Matthews, Thomas J.; Wang, Duorun; Li, Wande; Liu, Xiangxu; Tang, Shupei; Han, Peng; Wei, Guangpeng; Kang, YiAnthropogenic activities have reshaped biodiversity on islands worldwide. However, it remains unclear how island attributes and land-use change interactively shape multiple facets of island biodiversity through community assembly processes. To answer this, we conducted bird surveys in various land-use types (mainly forest and farmland) using transects on 34 oceanic land-bridge islands in the largest archipelago...
A global analysis of avian island diversity–area relationships in the Anthropocene
Matthews, Thomas J.; Wayman, Joseph P.; Whittaker, Robert J.; Cardoso, Pedro; Hume, Julian P.; Sayol, Ferran; Proios, Konstantinos; Martin, Thomas E.Research on island species–area relationships (ISAR) has expanded to incorporate functional (IFDAR) and phylogenetic (IPDAR) diversity. However, relative to the ISAR, we know little about IFDARs and IPDARs, and lack synthetic global analyses of variation in form of these three categories of island diversity–area relationship (IDAR). Here, we undertake the first comparative evaluation of IDARs at the global scal...
