Island Life

Or, The Phenomena and Causes of Insular Faunas and Floras, Including a Revision and Attempted Solution of the Problem of Geological Climates

af Alfred Russel Wallace

A friend and correspondent of Charles Darwin, Alfred Russel Wallace (1823-1913) was an eminent naturalist and evolutionary theorist. In this study of the flora and fauna of islands, first published in 1880, he explores some of the earliest evidence of massive climate change, and investigates the migration of species.
