  abstract = {{I}sland biogeography theory is one of the most influential paradigms in ecology. {T}hat island characteristics, including remoteness, can profoundly modulate biological diversity has been borne out by studies of animals and plants. {B}y contrast, the processes influencing microbial diversity in island systems remain largely undetermined. {W}e sequenced arbuscular mycorrhizal ({AM}) fungal {DNA} from plant roots collected on 13 islands worldwide and compared {AM} fungal diversity on islands with existing data from mainland sites. {AM} fungal communities on islands (even those >6000 km from the closest mainland) comprised few endemic taxa and were as diverse as mainland communities. {T}hus, in contrast to patterns recorded among macro-organisms, efficient dispersal appears to outweigh the effects of taxogenesis and extinction in regulating {AM} fungal diversity on islands. {N}onetheless, {AM} fungal communities on more distant islands comprised a higher proportion of previously cultured and large-spored taxa, indicating that dispersal may be human-mediated or require tolerance of significant environmental stress, such as exposure to sunlight or high salinity. {T}he processes driving large-scale patterns of microbial diversity are a key consideration for attempts to conserve and restore functioning ecosystems in this era of rapid global change.},
