... of ecological and biogeographical studies. If the sites are islands spanning a range of sizes, topographies, and positions relative to colonization sources, SSMs will rank islands by those properties associated with high species richness, namely, by decreasing size and elevation, and increasing isolation. Often...

..., species’ ranges. Studying character displacement can therefore reveal how the fitness consequences of interactions between species potentially translate into large-scale patterns of species richness, distributions, and diversity. Thus, the study of character displacement provides a unifying framework...

The discussion addresses the systematics of endemic African mammals, factors relating to species richness, and a summary of isotopic information. The work also provides contextual information about Cenozoic African...
