The ISLAND BIOLOGY 2016 international conference brought together the expertise of a wide spectrum of research fields, in order to achieve a unified view of island biology. The conference will included poster presentations, plenary and regular sessions, and hosted a high number of Symposia, aimed to accommodate specialized discussions in topical areas in Island Biology. With a total of 408 participants, of which almost a quarter were students, 46 countries and 402 communications, involving 1040 authors.

Biodiversity, Global Changes, Conservation, Invasive Species, Evolutionary Biology, Species Interactions and Networks, Paleobiology and Biogeography were the key conference themes, pioneering ideas, leading theories, novel methodological approaches and recent ground-breaking results presented at this conference providing advances in island biology research and guidelines for the future development of this field.

Cave ecosystems in Islands are particularly relevant for Biology. Caves, similarly to islands, have long sparked the interest of biologists as they are "isolated units" that host unique biotas. Caves on islands are particularly interesting, they can be seen as islands within islands, and the study of insular cave-adapted organisms provides therefore unique opportunities to investigate ecological and evolutionary processes. 

Subterranean Biology on Islands was a special Symposium included in the Island Biology 2016 conference, organised with the support of the International Society for Subterranean Biology, aiming to aims to provide an overview regarding recent subterranean research on islands around the world. The ultimate goal was to promote discussion on subterranean biology and to establish an international collaboration network that will foster subterranean research, particularly on islands.

Sofia presented a talk at this conference, entitled: Cave-adapted faunas in volcanic islands vs. continental areas
