Contemporizing island biogeography theory with anthropogenic drivers of species richness

Jason M. M. Gleditsch et al.

Summary: Island biogeography theory is updated to incorporate the effects of land development and economic trade on species richness patterns in the Caribbean. The study built a database of native and introduced reptiles and amphibians for Caribbean islands and evaluated the relationships between species richness and habitat diversity and isolation. The contemporized theory explains the current patterns of biodiversity and will continue to predict the island biogeography of the Anthropocene.

Long-term trajectories of non-native vegetation on islands globally

Anna Walentowitz et al.

Summary: Human-mediated changes in island vegetation are largely caused by the introduction and establishment of non-native species. However, data on past changes in non-native plant species abundance are scarce. Using fossil pollen data and botanical status information, we studied the changes in non-native plant abundance on 29 islands over the past 5000 years. Our findings reveal a proportional increase in non-native plant pollen in the last 1000 years and highlight the importance of considering the longer and more dynamic history of non-native plant introductions.

Anthropogenic and environmental determinants of alien plant species spatial distribution on an island scale

Panayiotis G. Dimitrakopoulos et al.

Summary: The study conducted a roadside survey on alien plant species on Lesvos, using a Negative-binomial model and Generalised Additive Model to analyze the factors influencing the spatial distribution of alien plants. The results showed that both human activities and environmental factors played a role in shaping the distribution patterns of alien plants.

Plant dispersal characteristics shape the relationship of diversity with area and isolation

Anna Walentowitz et al.

Summary: This study investigates how plant dispersal syndromes influence species richness in relation to island area, isolation, and human impact. It finds that island area acts as a strong filter for different dispersal syndromes, with human activity positively affecting species richness and seed mass.

Disentangling native and alien plant diversity in coastal sand dune ecosystems worldwide

Enrico Tordoni et al.

Summary: The research aimed to uncover global patterns of native and alien plant diversity in coastal sand dune ecosystems, determine the main drivers of species richness, and test for an interaction between spatial scale and native-alien richness patterns. The study found strong differences in native and alien species richness, with anthropogenic factors being more closely associated with alien richness while native richness was more related to environmental factors.

Environmental heterogeneity predicts global species richness patterns better than area

Kristy Udy et al.

Summary: This study found that environmental heterogeneity explains species richness better than area for predicting native mammal species richness worldwide and within biogeographical regions, suggesting that niche-related processes are more prevalent at broad scales.

Anthropogenic and environmental drivers shape diversity of naturalized plants across the Pacific

Michael R. Wohlwend et al.

Summary: The Pacific region exhibits a high diversity of naturalized plant species, with key drivers including human activity and island altitude/area. Many of these species are shared with other regions in the world, but there are significant differences in the role of anthropogenic drivers in shaping diversity patterns in the Pacific.

Human impact, climate and dispersal strategies determine plant invasion on islands

Severin D. H. Irl et al.

Summary: Plant invasion on tropical and subtropical islands seems to be mainly driven by precipitation and human impact, while temperature seems to be of little importance. Furthermore, anemochory and anthropochory are dispersal strategies associated with large niche widths of non-native species.

Scientists' warning - The outstanding biodiversity of islands is in peril

Jose Maria Fernandez-Palacios et al.

Summary: Although islands only account for 6.7% of the Earth's land surface area, they harbor around 20% of the Earth's biodiversity and a disproportionately high percentage of threatened and extinct species. Islands act as both cradles for evolutionary diversity and museums of once widespread lineages, but their unique endemic species are often vulnerable due to genetic and demographic factors linked with colonization history. The vulnerability of island biota, exacerbated by anthropogenic pressures, has led to a significant number of extinctions in the past 500 years, with ongoing biodiversity loss posing a serious threat to the world's islands.

The human dimension of biodiversity changes on islands

Sandra Nogue et al.

Summary: Islands are among the last regions on Earth to be settled and transformed by human activities, and research shows that vegetation change on islands accelerates significantly after human arrival. This global acceleration in turnover suggests that islands are continuously undergoing change, highlighting the importance of considering long-term human impacts in strategies for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem restoration.
