      From plots to islands: Species diversity at different scales 

      Sfenthourakis, Spyros; Panitsa, M. (2012)
      Aim To investigate how plant diversity of whole islands ('gamma') is related to alpha and beta diversity patterns among sampling plots within each island, thus exploring aspects of diversity patterns across scales. Location ...

      An improved method for the identification of areas of endemism using species co-occurrences 

      Giokas, Sinos; Sfenthourakis, Spyros (2008)
      Aim: To develop a simple method that (1) combines the notions of biotic elements (groups of taxa with ranges significantly more similar to each other than to the ranges of other taxa) and of areas of endemism (AoE, areas ...

      Island species richness increases with habitat diversity 

      Hortal, J.; Triantis, Kostas A.; Meiri, S.; Thébault, E.; Sfenthourakis, Spyros (2009)
      Species richness is commonly thought to increase with habitat diversity. However, a recent theoretical model aiming to unify niche and island biogeography theories predicted a hump-shaped relationship between richness and ...
