Some ecological implications of the broadening habitat and trophic niche of terrestrial vertebrates in the Canary Islands
Two of the most important evolutionary tendencies of vertebrates in islands are the breadening habitat and trophic niche with regards to those relative species that live in continental ecosystems. Therefore, we present two cases related with these phenomenon and their ecological implications in the Canarian Archipelago. Common Raven (Corvus corax) is present in all environments of the Canary Islands where vegetation is highly structured according to altitude creating differnt types of macrohabitats.
