Island ecology is the study of island organisms and their interactions with each other and the environment. Islands account for nearly 1/6 of earth’s total land area, yet the ecology of island ecosystems is vastly different from that of mainland communities. Their isolation and high availability of empty niches lead to increased speciation. As a result, island ecosystems comprise 30% of the world’s biodiversity hotspots, 50% of marine tropical diversity, and some of the most unusual and rare species. Many species still remain unknown.

  • La ecología insular es el estudio de los organismos insulares (es decir los que viven en las islas) y las interacciones entre ellos. Las islas constan de casi 1/6 del área terrestrial de la tierra,​ sin embargo la ecología de los ecosistemas insulares difieren enormemente en comparación con la de las habitats continentales. Las diferencias entre las especies insulares y sus homólogos continentales en términos de morfología, ecología, fisiología y comportamiento se llama el "síndrome insular" (es)
  • L'écologie insulaire est l'étude des organismes insulaires et de leurs interactions entre eux et avec l'environnement. Les îles représentent près d'un sixième de la superficie totale de la Terre mais l'écologie des écosystèmes insulaires est très différente de celle des communautés continentales. Leur isolement et leur grande disponibilité de niches vides conduisent à une spéciation accrue. En conséquence, les écosystèmes insulaires représentent 30% des points chauds de la biodiversité mondiale, 50% de la diversité tropicale marine et certaines des espèces les plus inhabituelles et rares. De nombreuses espèces restent encore inconnues. (fr)
