Abstract
This paper analyzes the issues of emergence and development of industry-based and complex physiographic sciences focused on insular studies. The nascence and key development stages of insular biogeography, leading to the emergence of the currently predominant Equilibrium Theory of Island Biogeography are reviewed in the paper. It is demonstrated that other physiographic sciences focused on insular studies (island geomorphology, biogeochemistry of the islands, insular soil studies) are still in the early development stages. Island landscape studies that traditionally perform the integrating functions in geography emerged from industry-based physiographic sciences. The key development stages and current state of the complex island studies and island landscape studies were analyzed.
