Trees, birds and bees in Mauritius: exploitative competition between introduced honey bees and endemic nectarivorous birds? (2002, background): “Island species are especially extinction-prone and vulnerable to disturbance, mainly because of inherently small population sizes and isolated evolution (Cox & Elmqvist, 2000; Simberloff, 2000).”
Biological consequences of invasion by reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea) (2009, background): “…Goodwin, Urbana, IL 61801, USA plants), assumed reductions in biodiversity are often based on anecdotal observation, such as when invaders form conspicuous stands (Ortega and Pearson 2005; Schmitz et al. 1997) or when the causes of oceanic island extinctions are considered (Simberloff 1995, 2000).”
Invasive alien species on islands: impacts, distribution, interactions and management (2017, background): “…of islands leads to smaller populations, and their isolation creates evolutionary distinctiveness (Losos & Ricklefs 2009), species impoverishment (Simberloff 2000) and taxonomic disharmony (Williamson 1981) with the absence of some functional groups (Cushman 1995), which together create greater…”
