The classical <i>theory of island biogeography</i>, which predicts species richness using island area and isolation, has been expanded to include contributions from marine subsidies, i.e. <i>subsidized island biogeography</i> (SIB) <i>theory</i>. We tested the effects of marine subsidies on species diversity and population density on productive temperate islands, evaluating SIB predictions previously untested at comparable scales and subsidy levels. We found that the diversity of terrestrial bre ...[more]
