The Theory of Island Biogeography has its roots in Wilson's work on the ants of Melanesia.MacArthur synthesized Wilson's ideas about competition, colonization and equilibrium into a simple graphical representation of immigration and extinction curves, from which one can determine the equilibrial species number on an island.

MacArthur was a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, 1958–65, and professor of biology at Princeton University, 1965–72.He played an important role in the development of niche partitioning, and with E.O. Wilson he co-authored The Theory of Island Biogeography (1967), a work which changed the field of biogeography, drove community ecology and led to the development of modern ...
The field was started in the 1960s by the ecologists Robert H. MacArthur and E. O. Wilson, [3] who coined the term island biogeography in their inaugural contribution to Princeton's Monograph in Population Biology series, which attempted to predict the number of species that would exist on a newly created island.
The terminology of r/K-selection was coined by the ecologists Robert MacArthur and E. O. Wilson in 1967 [2] based on their work on island biogeography; [3] although the concept of the evolution of life history strategies has a longer history [4] (see e.g. plant strategies).
