Oceanic islands represent a set of systems in which biological
diversity varies as a consequence of remoteness or size, not
environment; they are also generally simpler than continental
ecosystems. Islands therefore provide an opportunity to determine
the direct effects of biological diversity on ecosystem function.
The volume addresses the components of biological diversity on
islands and their patterns of variation; the modern threats to the
maintenance of biological diversity on islands; the consequences of
island biology and its modification by humanity regarding aspects
of ecosystem function; the global implications of islands for
conservation; and how islands can help one to understand the
processes inducing changes throughout the world.
