Abstract:
A major goal of island biogeography is to understand how island communities are assembled over time. However, we know little about the influence of variable area and ecological opportunity on island biotas over geological timescales. Islands have limited life spans, and it has been posited that insular diversity patterns should rise and fall with an island's ontogeny. The potential of phylogenies to inform us of island ontogenetic stage remains unclear, as we lack a phylogenetic framework that focuses on islands rather than clades. Here, we present a parsimonious island-centric model that inte

Abstract:
In archipelagic environments, the successive emergence and submergence of islands induces changes in area, spatial structure and isolation. Here, we aim to understand how such geo-environmental dynamics, by altering immigration, speciation and extinction over time, may influence phylogenetic patterns. We use a neutral, stochastic, individual-based model which simulates a community evolving in an archipelago where four islands emerge and submerge consecutively. We record each birth, death and immigration event, allowing us to build the complete phylogeny at any time, from which we extract the p

Abstract:
Long-term persistence of patterns in geographic variation within species is an interesting and puzzling phenomenon. I present a well-defined natural experiment in the land snail Cerion agassizi from the islands of Great Bahama Bank. C. agassizi is the best-known fossil of the ca. 120,000 years BP dunes of New Providence, Cat and Eleuthera Islands; populations have survived on Cat and Eleuthera. During the Wisconsin glacial advance, all these islands joined together in an emergent bank. Presence of the same species on two islands at two times permits a test for both time signatures (does change

Abstract:
Trimeresurus brongersmai is a rare pitviper from Simeulue and the Mentawai Islands. We comment on the morphology and examine new specimens from Siberut Island. The four new specimens differ morphologically from the eight specimens known previously. A distinctive banding pattern on the distal tail characterises T. brongersmai and the related species T. puniceus. Juveniles lack the distinctive projecting supraoculars of adult T. brongersmai and these scales apparently develop during ontogeny. We propose the new term “rostronasal†for a large scale positioned between the rostral and nasal on e

The morphological ontogeny of Eharius chergui (Athias-Henriot, 1960) is described in this paper based on laboratory-reared specimens originating from Marrubium vulgare L.

Malformation was observed in the development of some idiosomal setae in some specimens and was suggested to be related to the host plant M. vulgare.

Abstract:
The present work aims to determine and analyse the distribution of individuals of different size-classes of the southern stingray, Dasyatis americana, in distinct habitats at Fernando de Noronha Archipelago. The stingrays were visually sampled, quantified and described according to a standard protocol through intensive search method during direct observations. The relationships among individuals of various disc length (DL) classes and their habitat features were described by the correspondence analysis. A total of 356 individuals were sampled. Individuals between 15 and 35 cm DL were observed

AbstractThe monotypic genus Wawea gen. nov. is described as a second genus in the family Arctomiaceae. The single species, Wawea fruticulosa sp. nov., is characterized by its fruticose habit, rugose and corticate lobes, secondarily multidivided and coalescing apothecia, two-celled spores, and by the unique initial stage of ascocarp ontogeny which includes simultaneous development of ascogonia as well as short-celled, branched conldiophores producing conidia. W. fruticulosa is widespread in Tasmania and is known also from New Zealand with single collections from the North and South Island. A ne

Abstract ‘Island types, origins, and dynamics’ focuses on how islands emerge and develop as platforms for life. It introduces the classic subdivision into oceanic islands, continental fragments, and continental shelf islands and reviews more recent geological subdivisions of categories of oceanic island. It highlights distinctions between island geodynamics linked to divergent, convergent, and transverse plate boundaries, and those associated with various intraplate settings. These dynamics are also shown to be linked to biogeographical debates about disjunct distributions. A general ontogeny
