The basic theory says that on larger islands The theory of island biogeography is important to conservation biology because it helps scientists predict how many species should thrive in a given area and gives them information on how to develop protective reserves. Whittaker, Jose Maria Fernandez-Palacios (2007) Oxford University Press. Island Biogeography: Ecology, Evolution and Conservation by Robert J. UNIT 11: EVOLUTION AND BEHAVIOUR. In the Journal of Biogeography: Abstract Charles Darwin's observations and insights continue to inspire nearly all scientists who are captivated by both the marvels and the perils of island life. Applied Conservation biology: Principles of conservation, major approaches to management, Indian case studies on conservation/management strategy (Project Tiger, Biosphere reserves). Rob has published over 80 peer-review articles and is also the author of Island Biogeography: ecology, evolution, and conservation (OUP, first edition 1998; second edition 2007). Ecological succession: Types; mechanisms; changes involved in succession; concept of climax. Although this further supports Jeremy's idea about many popular ecology books having a conservation focus, the early chapters trace the development of the field of island biogeography and related concepts such as the In a similar vein, EO Wilson's autobiography, Naturalist, another popular science book that reads like a good novel, provides an insider's account of the development of some of the most interesting (and controversial) issues in ecology and evolution.

One of the fundamental concepts of evolution and ecology, the theory of island biogeography was first developed in the 1960s by scientists E.O.
