Evolutionary winners are ecological losers among oceanic island plants Open

José María Fernández‐Palacios, Rüdiger Otto, Michael K. Borregaard, Holger Kreft, Jonathan P. Price , et al. · 2021

Aim Adaptive radiation, in which successful lineages proliferate by exploiting untapped niche space, provides a popular but potentially misleading characterization of evolution on oceanic islands. Here we analyse the respective roles of me…

Rarity patterns of woody plant species are associated with life form and diversification rates in Pacific islands forests Open

Thomas Ibanez, Alison Ainsworth, Jacob Gross, Jonathan P. Price, Edward L. Webb , et al. · 2021

Premise Rarity is a complex and central concept in ecology and conservation biology. Yet, it is still poorly understood why some species are rare and others common. Here, we aimed to understand the drivers of species rarity patterns in woo…

Origins of the Hawaiian flora: Phylogenies and biogeography reveal patterns of long‐distance dispersal Open

Jonathan P. Price, Warren L. Wagner · 2018

Botanists have long considered the origins of the Hawaiian flora in terms of long‐distance dispersal from particular source areas. We extensively reviewed phylogenetic studies of the Hawaiian angiosperm flora to determine the most likely r…

Colonization and diversification shape species–area relationships in three Macaronesian archipelagos Open

Jonathan P. Price, Rüdiger Otto, Miguel Menezes de Sequeira, Christoph Kueffer, Hanno Schaefer , et al. · 2018

Aim Species–area relationships ( SAR s) on oceanic archipelagos are shaped at least as much by speciation as by immigration–extinction dynamics. We examine three well‐studied Atlantic archipelagos to quantify the relative contributions of …

Projecting end-of-century shifts in the spatial pattern of plant-available water across Hawai‘i to assess implication to vegetation shifts Open

Lucas Berio Fortini, James D. Jacobi, Jonathan P. Price · 2018

Anticipating potential shifts in plant communities has been a major challenge in climate change ecology.In Hawaiʻi, where conservation efforts tend to be habitat focused, the lack of projections of vegetation shifts under future climate is…
