Extensions of Island Biogeography Theory predict the scaling of functional trait composition with habitat area and isolation
Abstract The Theory of Island Biogeography (TIB) predicts how area and isolation influence
species richness equilibrium on insular habitats. However, the TIB remains silent about …

Cascading effects of forested area and isolation on seed dispersal effectiveness of rodents on subtropical islands
Habitat loss and fragmentation often leads to defaunation of large‐bodied mammals, and
their loss could trigger release from top‐down control or food resource competition for small …
