Effects of time and isolation on plant diversity: testing island biogeography theory with an eco-evolutionary model
J. Sarmento Cabral, R. J. Whittaker, K. Wiegand, H. Kreft
The paper uses an eco-evolutionary model to test the General Dynamic Model of oceanic island biogeography, finding humped trends in species richness and confirming most predictions while highlighting differences in endemic proportions over time and isolation.
