Stream diatom biodiversity in islands and continents—A global perspective on effects of area, isolation and environment
Résumé
The species– area relationship (SAR) is one of the most distinctive biogeographic patterns, but global comparisons of the SARs between island and mainland are lacking for microbial taxa. Here, we explore whether the form of the SAR and the drivers of species richness, including area, environmental heterogeneity, climate and physico- chemistry, differ between islands and similarly sized areas on mainland, referred to as continental area equivalents (CAEs).
