Scaling species richness and endemism of tropical dry forests on oceanic islands

Scaling species richness and endemism of tropical dry forests on oceanic islands

Aim: We examine variation in woody plant species richness and endemism within tropical dry forest on oceanic islands and determine what climatic and biogeographic metrics best explain native species richness and endemism across archipelagos, islands and plots. Location: Oceanic islands in the Pacifi...
