Ecology of plant speciation (2010, background): “This argument might, however, provide a more satisfactory explanation for the observation by Silvertown (2004) that 20 Macaronesian genera that originated from single colonization events had, between them, given rise to 269 endemic species, while repeated colonizations by members of 20 other genera…”
West to east dispersal and subsequent rapid diversification of the mega‐diverse genus Begonia (Begoniaceae) in the Malesian archipelago (2012, background): “One explanation for this pattern may be niche pre-emption (Silvertown, 2004; Silvertown et al., 2005), the filling of niche space by the island endemic radiations, which may have inhibited the establishment of later, closely related arrivals (species in section Petermannia).”
The monophyly of island radiations: an evaluation of niche pre‐emption and some alternative explanations (2005, methodology): “They also suggest that Silvertown (2004) ‘used the tips of the phylogenetic trees’ to illustrate the differences in radiation patterns between unique and multiple congeneric colonizations and that this is inconsistent with Silvertown’s own advocacy of phylogenetic correction in comparative studies.”
A roadmap for island biology: 50 fundamental questions after 50 years of The Theory of Island Biogeography (2017, background): “…patterns of assembly it has been suggested that a ‘founder takes all’ density-dependence principle may account for tendencies towards monophyly in diverse genera of flowering plants that have diversified in situ on certain oceanic archipelagos (Silvertown, 2004; Silvertown et al., 2005).”
Why are there so many small plants? Implications for species coexistence (2006, background): “Especially if combined with phylogenetic information and an appropriate null model (see Webb et al . 2002), such a test could inform the recent debate concerning the processes responsible for community assembly in island floras ( Silvertown 2004; Herben et al . 2005; Saunders & Gibson 2005; Silvert”
The island immaturity – speciation pulse model of island evolution: an alternative to the “diversity begets diversity” model (2007, background): “Silvertown (2004) argues that this is best accounted for via niche pre-emption mechanisms (Silvertown et al. 2005).”
Including species interactions in risk assessments for global change (2007, background): “Competition may have occurred historically but is not apparent in the current environment (Silvertown, 2004).”
Inferring dispersal: a Bayesian approach to phylogeny‐based island biogeography, with special reference to the Canary Islands (2008, background): “Interspecific competition by niche preemption (Silvertown, 2004) or extensive hybridization masking later colonization events (Herben et al.”
