Overview

Islands provide us with natural laboratories in developing theories and models to understand how evolution works. Island Biogeography is a new textbook, accessible to advanced undergraduates and graduate students from geography and the life sciences. The first low-level textbook to be written on the topic since 1981, it provides a much needed synthesis of recent developments across the discipline, linking current theoretical debates on island evolution and ecology with applied island ecology and its uses in conservation. Wide-ranging, authoritative, and accessible, this is a truly up-to-date review of a fascinating and important subject in evolution and ecology. This book is intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in biology, ecology, geography, and earth sciences taking courses in island biogeography, evolution, ecology and human ecology, conservation, and biodiversity.
