"An ongoing concern for island communities both nationally and internationally is to maintain the population levels of their islands," the plan noted. "Island communities generally have a higher than average age profile, as many young adults leave the islands to avail of further education or employ...

Sometimes they have completely different communities and vegetation on them, and that's going to affect what wildlife use those islands, because the plants are kind of the base of everything.有时，它们的植被和群落完全不同，这会影响到哪些野生动物会利用这些树岛，因为植物是一切的基础。It's their...
These two islands also share some demographic features, likely a product of their abrupt geography, that have mod- eled their genetic structure mainly due to the effect of isolation and genetic drifting. Until the eighteenth century, Sardinia had a population that rarely exceeded 400,000 ...

Which means that every person shall use their skills here in life for something," Samuelsen told CGTN Europe. "It also symbolizes the Faroes chain dance, where people hold hands, and when the Faroese hold hands – working together – we are able to do more together th...
Using a combination of bird observations and plant stable isotope (δ15N) analyses, we demonstrate that (i) breeding birds transport large quantities of nutrients via their faecal outputs to these islands annually and that (ii) this external nitrogen source influences vegetation development on these ...
In the southern reaches of Vietnam, life has revolved around the water for hundreds of years. Here, in the Mekong Delta and on the Con Dao islands of the South China Sea, communities continue to embrace old ways while looking to the future in this rapidl
Many islands are biodiversity hotspots but also extinction epicenters. In addition to strong cultural connections to nature, islanders derive a significant part of their economy and broader wellbeing from this biodiversity. Islands are thus considered as the socio-ecosystems most vulnerable to species ...
