The Theory of Island Biogeography

Book • 1967
This book, published in 1967, introduced the theory of island biogeography, which posits that species diversity on islands is determined by a dynamic equilibrium between immigration and extinction rates.

The theory is foundational in understanding how island size and isolation affect biodiversity.

It has significantly influenced fields such as ecology, evolutionary biology, and conservation biology.
