TL;DR: P prospects for research on islands are highlighted to improve understanding of the ecology and evolution of communities in general and how attributes of islands combine to provide unusual research opportunities, the implications of which stretch far beyond islands.
Unparalleled rates of species diversification in Europe.

TL;DR: It is shown that carnations (Dianthus, Caryophyllaceae), a well-known group of plants from temperate Eurasia, have diversified at the most rapid rate ever reported in plants or terrestrial vertebrates, and suggests Europe, the continent with the world's best-studied flora, has been underestimated as a cradle of recent and rapid speciation.

TL;DR: Having produced the largest mitochondrial DNA data set from museum specimens, this work documents how NGS technologies can “unlock” museum collections, thereby helping to unravel the tree-of-life.
Mechanistic simulation models in macroecology and biogeography: state‐of‐art and prospects
TL;DR: It is shown that ecological and evolutionary processes, as well as environmental and human-induced drivers, are increasingly modelled mechanistically; and that new insights into biodiversity dynamics emerge from these models, and substantial challenges still lie ahead for this young research field.

Diversification rates and chromosome evolution in the most diverse angiosperm genus of the temperate zone (Carex, Cyperaceae)
TL;DR: It is suggested that adaptive radiation to novel temperate climates, aided by a shift in the mode of chromosome evolution, may explain the large-scale radiation of Carex and its latitudinal pattern of species richness.
