The General Dynamic Model of island biogeography (GDM) explains patterns of species richness on volcanic hotspot archipelagos with respect to island age (T) and area (A), most commonly employing what we here call semi‐log ATT² and LogATT² models. These can be considered direct extensions of semi‐log and power law species‐area relationships (SARs), with a hump‐shaped function of T modelling drivers of biodiversity over and above area per se. We compare these and related models and investigate their conceptual and mathematical connections.

建立生物地理学一般动力理论的扩展框架

岛屿生物地理学的一般动力学模型（GDM）解释了火山热点群岛上物种丰富度与岛屿年龄（T）和面积（A）有关的模式，最常用的是我们在此所说的半对数ATT ²和LogATT ²模型。这些可以被认为是半对数和幂律物种-区域关系（SAR）的直接扩展，具有对区域本身以上的生物多样性的T建模驱动力的驼峰形函数。我们比较了这些模型和相关模型，并研究了它们在概念和数学上的联系。
