Doubling diversity: a cautionary tale of previously unsuspected mammalian diversity on a tropical oceanic island

<p>The development of meaningful models of species richness dynamics in island ecosystems requires accurate measurement of existing biodiversity. To test the assumption that mammalian diversity on tropical oceanic islands is well documented, we conducted a 12-year intensive survey of the nativ...
