Evolution and Islands includes the papers presented at the International Symposium on Evolution and Islands, Menorca conducted in September 2009, which brought together leading figures from the international community in various fields of the study of evolutionary phenomena on islands. The symposium constituted one of the most important events framed within 2009's Darwin Day, an initiative which covers a range of activities commemorating the double anniversary of the publication of On the Origin of Species in 1859, and 200 years since the birth of the author Charles R. Darwin.
