Abstract
Ecological pulses, marked by rapid environmental shifts, shape species dynamics such as speciation. Princepe et al. (2023) explore how intermittent migration, seabed depth, and sea-level changes influence species richness in islands. Their model, revealing nuanced richness patterns and migration impacts, contributes to understanding island evolution and offers insights into real-world cases. Examining the Philippines Archipelago, known for rich biodiversity, parallels emerge, showcasing the complex interplay of isolation, land bridges, and sea-level shifts in shaping genetic diversity. Overall, the findings enhance our understanding of population evolution in dynamic island environments.
