CiNii Books - Evolution on islands

Intended for undergraduates, graduates, researchers, and college lecturers in the fields of evolutionary biology, ecology, and biogeography, this text includes coverage of: patterns on islands and microevolution; natural selection and random genetic drift as causes of evolution on islands; and the reproductive biology and genetics of island plants.
