Summary: | Anthropogenic activities have reshaped biodiversity on islands worldwide. However, it remains unclear how island attributes and land-use change interactively shape multiple facets of island biodiversity through community assembly processes. To answer this, we conducted bird surveys in various land-use types (mainly forest and farmland) using transects on 34 oceanic land-bridge islands in the largest archipelago of China. We found that bird species richness increases with island area and decreases with isolation, regardless of the intensity of land-use change. However, forest-dominated habitats exhibited lower richness than farmland-dominated habitats. Island bird assemblages generally comprised species that share more similar traits or evolutionary histories (i.e., functional and/or phylogenetic clustering) than expected if assemblages were randomly assembled. Contrary to our expectations, we observed that bird assemblages in forest-dominated habitats were more clustered on large and close islands, whereas ... : Funding provided by: National Natural Science Foundation of ChinaCrossref Funder Registry ID: https://ror.org/01h0zpd94Award Number: 32071545 Funding provided by: National Natural Science Foundation of ChinaCrossref Funder Registry ID: https://ror.org/01h0zpd94Award Number: 32101278 Funding provided by: National Natural Science Foundation of ChinaCrossref Funder Registry ID: https://ror.org/01h0zpd94Award Number: 32371590 Funding provided by: Program for Professor of Special Appointment (Eastern Scholar)*Crossref Funder Registry ID: Award Number: TP2020016 Funding provided by: National Natural Science Foundation of ChinaCrossref Funder Registry ID: https://ror.org/01h0zpd94Award Number: 32311520284 ... |
