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).”
Partitioning taxon, phylogenetic and functional beta diversity into replacement and richness difference components (2014, background): “…dominated by brich may occur in islands with very different areas and/or ages, in which smaller or younger islands present subsets of the species present in larger or older islands, as limited area, time or niche pre-emption may prevent an extensive radiation of lineages (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; Silverto”
A reconstruction of Palaeo‐Macaronesia, with particular reference to the long‐term biogeography of the Atlantic island laurel forests (2011, background): “…continents (Carine et al., 2004; Bellemain & Ricklefs, 2008); the prevalence of niche pre-emption as an evolutionary force within lineages (Silvertown et al., 2005); or the roles played by speciation, extinction and migration in shaping insular communities (Whittaker et al., 2008;…”
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).”
