The island rule and the evolution of body size in the deep sea (2006, background): “Island environments produce distinctive selection pressures, including reduced predation, relaxed competition and diminished food supplies that can often yield complex evolutionary trajectories in body size (Van Valen, 1973; Angerbjorn, 1985; Clegg & Owens, 2002; Palkovacs, 2003).”
The island rule and a research agenda for studying ecogeographical patterns (2006, background): “…time as an invasive species expands its exotic range and, as a result, experiences repeated founder events and novel selection regimes (Johnston & Selander, 1964; Huey et al., 2000, 2005; Gilchrist et al., 2001; Sax, 2001; Campbell & Echternacht, 2003; Fridley et al., 2006; Patterson et al., 2006).”
Dinosaurs and the island rule: The dwarfed dinosaurs from Haţeg Island (2010, background): “(4) Other models suggest that size changes depend on optimization of life-history traits such as metabolic rate, gestation time, size at birth, age and size at maturity, birth and death rates, trophic level, home range size, and population density (Palkovacs, 2003; Palombo, 2007).”
