Vocal and genetic variation between a land-bridge island and mainland populations of the Black-crowned Antshrike (Thamnophilus atrinucha)
AbstractIsland-mainland systems serve as natural laboratories for studying communication signals. We explored potential divergence in the song of the...

Genetic effects of demographic bottleneck and recovery in Kinkazan Island and mainland populations of Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata)
Populations of Japanese macaques were significantly reduced in most areas from the 1900s to the 1960s and then recovered mainly in the northeastern...

Impact of Predators on Arthropod Herbivores and Herbivory along Mountain Ranges on Islands Versus Mainland
Trophic interactions between plants, herbivorous arthropods, and their predators are complex and prone to trophic cascades. Understanding these...

Pest Control in Coffee: A Tri-trophic Comparison between a Mainland and an Island Agroecosystem
The practical requirement of pest control in agriculture is an evident application of principles of tri-trophic ecological interactions—plant (crop),...

Allometric brain reduction in an insular, dwarfed population of black-tailed deer
Insular populations of mammals have been shown to undergo drastic morphological changes relative to mainland counterparts, and these adaptations can...

Epidemiology of Onychomycosis in Chinese Mainland: A 30-year Retrospective Study
BackgroundOnychomycosis was a common nail disease caused by dermatophytes, yeasts or molds. The prevalence of onychomycosis varied in different...

Breeding bird communities of riparian and upland woodlands respond differently to an Atlantic-Mediterranean climatic gradient in Mainland Spain
Riparian habitats are key landscape elements promoting regional biodiversity, particularly in areas where water availability is scarce. In...

Isolation, small population size, and management influence inbreeding and reduced genetic variation in K’gari dingoes
Small island populations are vulnerable to genetic decline via demographic and environmental stochasticity. In the absence of immigration, founder...

Behavioral Island Syndrome and Its Ecological Drivers in the Mednyi Island Arctic Fox Population
Abstract —There is a change in many features of biology in reptiles, birds, and mammals (inhabitants of oceanic islands), which is called “island...
