Nonequilibrium diversity dynamics of the Lesser Antillean avifauna.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 16 Nov 2001

Ricklefs R E, Bermingham E

Abstract excerpt

MacArthur and Wilson's model of island diversity predicts an increase in the number of species until colonization and extinction are balanced at a long-term steady state. We appraise this model on an evolutionary time scale by molecular phylogenetic analysis of the colonization of the Lesser Antilles by small land birds. The pattern of accumulation of species with time, estimated by genetic divergence between...
