Island Evolution and What's More. By Alexandra van der Geer, (NBC Naturalis and NKUOA, Greece). Monday, July 7, 2014. Role of predators overrated.

Without this selective filtering, such processes likely could not take place so fast: 6 or 8 species in at most 125 thousand years. Read the article at. Bij Fair Book...
