Building on foundational ideas described in island biogeography and the neutral theory of molecular evolution, the neutral theory of species diversity makes the provocative assumption that all ...

The species-area relationship is presented in more detail in an article about the theory of island biogeography. So far, we have discussed biodiversity in terms of species richness but not whether ...

Influential biologists Robert H. MacArthur and Edward O. Wilson coined the theory of island biogeography 50 years ago to help ...

Therefore, Darwin said, the island inhabitants must have migrated ... fits elegantly into Darwin's theory as another major influence on dispersal, helping to produce the patterns in the ...
