Landscape Ecology -- Patches and Corridors:  Applications in Conservation

Geographic Ecology:

Island Biogeography and Species richness

   Factors: Distance from source, size of "Island", age of island, age of taxonomic group

 SIZE    
         "Regular" islands

Lakes

 Mountains

Island distance

Why less of an effect on ferns than birds??  (think age of organism group . . .)

Latitudinal and Altitudinal Gradients in Species Richness
