AB The general dynamic model of oceanic island biogeography (GDM) has added a new dimension to theoretical islandbiogeography in recognizing that geological processes are key drivers of the evolutionary processes of diversification andextinction within remote islands. It provides a dynamic and essentially non-equilibrium framework generating novelpredictions for emergent diversity properties of oceanic islands and archipelagos. Its publication in 2008 coincidedwith, and spurred on, renewed attention to the dynamics of remote islands. We review progress, both in testingthe GDM’s predictions and in developing and enhancing ecological–evolutionary understanding of oceanic islandsystems through the lens of the GDM. In particular, we focus on four main themes: (i) macroecological tests using aspace-for-time rationale; (ii) extensions of theory to islands following different patterns of ontogeny; (iii) the implicationsof GDM dynamics for lineage diversification and trait evolution; and (iv) the potential for downscaling GDM dynamicsto local-scale ecological patterns and processes within islands. We also consider the implications of the GDM forunderstanding patterns of non-native species diversity. We demonstrate the vitality of the field of island biogeographyby identifying a range of potentially productive lines for future research.
