Disharmony of the world’s island floras

2019-01-17

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Aim</h4> Disharmony is a key concept in island biology that describes the imbalance in the representation of higher taxa on islands compared to their mainland source regions. Although there are strong theoretical arguments for the differential colonization success of different taxa on islands, the empirical evidence for disharmony remains largely anecdotal. Here, we develop a novel method for delineating isla...
