Habitat islands can be defined as distinct patches of habitat surrounded by less contrasting
matrix types. In contrast to true island biogeography (traditionally the study of islands …

Aim The small‐island effect (SIE), as an exception to the species–area relationship, has
received much attention in true island systems. However, the prevalence and related …

Background & Aim: The small-island effect (SIE) describes a phenomenon when below a
certain threshold area, species richness varies independently of island size or increases at a …

Island biogeography is the study of the distribution and dynamics of species in island
environments. Due to their isolation from more widespread continental species, islands are …

The assessment of habitat quality is instrumental in preserving regional species diversity
and ecosystem health, thereby forming the theoretical foundation for sustainable urban …

Aim The island species–area relationship (ISAR) quantifies how the number of species
increases as the area of an island or island‐like habitat gets larger and is one of the most …

Aim Understanding the patterns and correlates of the range expansion of established alien
species is crucial for predicting invasion impacts and developing effective control strategies …

The small‐island effect (SIE) is an important pattern in the research fields of island
biogeography and biodiversity science. Amphibians and reptiles, while playing important …

The small‐island effect (SIE) has become a widespread pattern in island biogeography and
biodiversity research. However, in most previous studies only area is used for the detection …

Aim How β‐diversity patterns are shaped by landscape‐level processes remains unclear
across habitat island systems. Here we assessed landscape‐level bird β‐diversity in habitat …
