Contents:
The importance of islands -- Area and number of species -- Further explanation of the area-diversity pattern -- The strategy of colonization -- Invasibility and the variable niche -- Stepping stones and biotic exchange -- Evolutionary changes following colonization.
Summary: Develops a general theory to explain the facts of island biogeography which builds on the first principles of population ecology and genetics to explain how distance and area combine to regulate the balance between immigration and extinction in island populations.
