  abstract = {{D}iversity patterns are determined by biogeographic, energetic, and anthropogenic factors, yet few studies have combined them into a large-scale framework in order to decouple and compare their relative effects on fish faunas. {U}sing an empirical dataset derived from 1527 underwater visual censuses ({UVC}) at 18 oceanic islands (five different marine provinces), we determined the relative influence of such factors on reef fish species richness, functional dispersion, density and biomass estimated from each {UVC} unit. {S}pecies richness presented low variation but was high at large island sites. {H}igh functional dispersion, density, and biomass were found at islands with large local species pool and distance from nearest reef. {P}rimary productivity positively affected fish richness, density and biomass confirming that more productive areas support larger populations, and higher biomass and richness on oceanic islands. {I}slands densely populated by humans had lower fish species richness and biomass reflecting anthropogenic effects. {S}pecies richness, functional dispersion, and biomass were positively related to distance from the mainland. {O}verall, species richness and fish density were mainly influenced by biogeographical and energetic factors, whereas functional dispersion and biomass were strongly influenced by anthropogenic factors. {O}ur results extend previous hypotheses for different assemblage metrics estimated from empirical data and confirm the negative impact of humans on fish assemblages, highlighting the need for conservation of oceanic islands.},
