Equilibrium Bird Species Diversity in Atlantic Islands

Half a century ago, MacArthur and Wilson proposed that the number of species on islands tends toward a dynamic equilibrium diversity around which species richness fluctuates [1MacArthur R.H. Wilson E.O. The Theory of Island Biogeography. Princeton University Press, 1967Google Scholar]. The current prevailing view in island biogeography accepts the fundamentals of MacArthur and Wilson’s theory [2Warren B.H. Simberloff D. Ricklefs R.E. Aguilée R....
