The role of gill raker number variability in adaptive radiation of coregonid fish (2011, background): “Foraging trait evolution in relation to adaptive radiations has been intensively studied in simplified and isolated ecosystems such as distant islands or their continental counterparts, newly formed lakes (Dieckman et al. 2004; Losos and Ricklefs 2009).”
Evolutionary Processes of Diversification in a Model Island Archipelago (2013, background): “In this review, we (a) characterize an ongoing renaissance of species discovery, (b) discuss the changing way biogeographers conceive of the archipelago, (c) review the role molecular phylogenetic studies play in understanding the evolutionary history of Philippine vertebrates, and (d ) describe…”
Invasive alien species on islands: impacts, distribution, interactions and management (2017, background): “The small size 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…”
The formation of species pools: historical habitat abundance affects current local diversity (2011, background): “…sources or neighbouring islands, and in situ speciation and extinction, constitute a suitable locale for analysis of diversity patterns (Emerson & Kolm, 2005; Losos & Ricklefs, 2009), in contrast to mainland biogeographic areas which might have had historically different degrees of connectivity.”
Insular Woodiness on the Canary Islands: A Remarkable Case of Convergent Evolution (2013, background): “…with a high diversity in habitats and an often dynamic geological history in terms of volcanic and erosional activity (Carlquist 1974; Givnish 1998; Emerson 2002; Whittaker et al. 2008; Losos and Ricklefs 2009; Whittaker and Fernández-Palacios 2010; Bramwell and Caujapé-Castells 2011).”
Slaying dragons: limited evidence for unusual body size evolution on islands (2011, neutral): “…lizards, mammals. ª 2010 Blackwell Publishing Ltd www.blackwellpublishing.com/jbi 89 doi:10.1111/j.1365-2699.2010.02390.x species of many clades being insular (Hooijer, 1967; Berry, 1998; Greer, 2001; Glaw et al., 2006; Whittaker & FernándezPalacios, 2007; Hedges, 2008; Losos & Ricklefs, 2009).”
Of mice and mammoths: generality and antiquity of the island rule (2013, neutral): “…body size evolution of palaeo-insular mammals is also consistent with an ecological hypothesis for the island rule (Lomolino et al., 2012; see also Losos & Ricklefs, 2009), which predicts that it is not the age of insular populations per se, but their time in ecological isolation from mammalian…”
Decoupling phylogenetic and functional diversity to reveal hidden signals in community assembly (2017, background): “…set of more similar species there could be some significant differentiation, for example via a relatively more recent trait differentiation within closely related phylogenetic taxa, via character displacement or trait assortment (Webb et al. 2002; Prinzing et al. 2008; Losos & Ricklefs 2009).”
Drivers of diversity in Macaronesian spiders and the role of species extinctions (2010, background): “In addition, in many isolated island archipelagos, substantial speciation has occurred in association with moderate-to-high levels of habitat diversity (Gillespie & Roderick, 2002; Losos & Ricklefs, 2009).”
Interactions between climate and habitat loss effects on biodiversity: a systematic review and meta‐analysis (2012, background): “For example, it has been well documented that species can change physiologically and morphologically to adapt to their environment (e.g. Davis & Shaw, 2001; Losos & Ricklefs, 2009; Berg et al., 2010; Hofmann & Todgham, 2010; Hill et al., 2011).”
