The role of human disturbance in island biogeography of arthropods and plants: an information theoretic approach

2015-08-01

Abstract excerpt

AIM: Recent progress in island biogeography indicates that classical island biogeography alone cannot encapsulate the complex and dynamic nature of island biogeographical processes. Factors such as habitat complexity and connectivity, and in the face of the Anthropocene, human disturbance and invasive species, may influence insular communities. The relative importance of these factors, however, may differ among gr...
