Innovation Probabilistic species pools provide an improved species pool definition based on probabilities in conjunction with the associated species list, which explicitly recognize the indeterminate nature of species pool membership for a given focal unit of interest and better capture real‐world complexity. Probabilistic species pools provide a quantitative assessment of how dispersal, environmental or biotic factors influence estimates of species pool composition and size for a given temporal extent. Conclusions Based on one simulated and two empirical examples we demonstrate that probabilistic species pools allow us to disentangle the geographical variation in dispersal, environmental and biotic assembly processes for species assemblages in focal units. We also show that probabilistic species pools are fully compatible with traditional definitions of species pools and are applicable over a wide range of spatial and temporal extents. Additionally they are robust to missing data and provide a quantified and transparent approach to estimating the size and composition of species pools in a mechanistic way, providing a valuable tool for studies from community ecology to macroecology."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1111/geb.12422"],["dc.identifier.gro","3149147"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/13236"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/5798"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Kreft Crossref Import"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","chake"],["dc.relation.issn","1466-822X"],["dc.rights","CC BY-NC-ND 4.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0"],["dc.title","Delineating probabilistic species pools in ecology and biogeography"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Location Twelve mountain regions on islands having different sizes, degrees of isolation and environmental conditions in Indonesia and the Philippines. Methods We sampled ferns in standardized field plots within a fixed spatial design at six spatial scales (with the grain size varying from plot to island). Using ordinary least squares regression and relative variable importance, we tested for the predictive power of area and isolation as well as of local and regional environmental factors for explaining diversity at the chosen spatial scales. Results Consistent with MacArthur and Wilson's ETIB, we found the strongest correlations of area and isolation with diversity at regional scales. The explanatory power of area increased with increasing spatial scale. The strength of the negative relationships among diversity and isolation decreased with increasing spatial scale. We found evidence for an ‘echo pattern’ at large to intermediate but not at small spatial scales. Main conclusions Area and isolation are strong predictors of biodiversity at regional scales. The size of the species pool has a scale‐dependent influence on diversity at smaller scales but is unimportant at the most local scale, where environmental conditions dominate as predictors of diversity. To make predictions about local diversity on islands it is therefore important to take the scale dependence of the ‘echo pattern’ into account."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1111/jbi.12209"],["dc.identifier.gro","3149125"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/5775"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Kreft Crossref Import"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","chake"],["dc.relation.issn","0305-0270"],["dc.title","Island biogeography from regional to local scales: evidence for a spatially scaled echo pattern of fern diversity in the Southeast Asian archipelago"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

While some basic epiphyte distribution patterns are relatively well studied, little effort has been made to understand the drivers responsible for constraining their global distribution. This study quantifies the substantial contribution of epiphytes to global gradients and centres of vascular plant diversity and explores whether epiphytes vary from terrestrial plants in relation to contemporary and historical environmental variables. Location Global. Time period Present. Major taxa studied Tracheophyta. Methods Using a comprehensive epiphyte species list (EpiList 1.0), and distribution information for 27,850 epiphyte species derived from numerous literature sources, we describe the global biogeography of epiphytes. We use generalized linear mixed effects models to assess the relationship between epiphytic and terrestrial plant diversity, and contemporary and historical environmental predictors. Results Epiphytes substantially contribute to global centres of vascular plant diversity, accounting for up to 39% of the vascular flora in Neotropical regions. Epiphytes decrease in species numbers with increasing latitude at a rate three times faster than terrestrial plants, a trend that is driven mainly by the distribution of tropical forests and precipitation. Further, large regional differences emerge that are explained by several large endemic angiosperm families (e.g., Neotropical Bromeliaceae) that are absent in other tropical regions. Main conclusions Our results show that epiphytes are disproportionately diverse in most global centres of plant diversity and play an important role in driving the global latitudinal diversity gradient for plants. The distribution of precipitation and tropical forest area emerge as major drivers of the latitudinal diversity gradient in epiphyte species richness. Finally, our findings demonstrate how epiphyte floras in different biogeographical realms are composed of different families and higher taxa, revealing an important signature of historical biogeography."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Swiss Data Science Project"],["dc.description.sponsorship","Swiss National Foundation"],["dc.description.sponsorship","Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100015742"],["dc.description.sponsorship","Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100001659"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1111/geb.13411"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/94798"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI-Import GROB-478"],["dc.relation.eissn","1466-8238"],["dc.relation.issn","1466-822X"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Zentrum für Biodiversität und Nachhaltige Landnutzung"],["dc.rights","This is an open access article under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits use, distribution and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited."],["dc.title","Vascular epiphytes contribute disproportionately to global centres of plant diversity"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Quantifying phylogenetic assemblage structure allows inferences about these processes, in particular dispersal, environmental filtering and in-situ speciation. Here, we link phylogenetic assemblage structure to island characteristics across 393 islands worldwide and 37,041 vascular plant species (representing angiosperms overall, palms and ferns). Physical and bioclimatic factors, especially those impeding colonization and promoting speciation, explained more variation in phylogenetic structure of angiosperms overall (49%) and palms (52%) than of ferns (18%). The relationships showed different or contrasting trends among these major plant groups, consistent with their dispersal- and speciation-related traits and climatic adaptations. Phylogenetic diversity was negatively related to isolation for palms, but unexpectedly it was positively related to isolation for angiosperms overall. This indicates strong dispersal filtering for the predominantly large-seeded, animal-dispersed palm family whereas colonization from biogeographically distinct source pools on remote islands likely drives the phylogenetic structure of angiosperm floras. We show that signatures of dispersal limitation, environmental filtering and in-situ speciation differ markedly among taxonomic groups on islands, which sheds light on the origin of insular plant diversity."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Open-Access Publikationsfonds 2015"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1038/srep12213"],["dc.identifier.gro","3149163"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/12018"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/5816"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Kreft Crossref Import"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","chake"],["dc.relation.issn","2045-2322"],["dc.rights.access","openAccess"],["dc.title","Global patterns and drivers of phylogenetic structure in island floras"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
