island site

Explanation:
W tym wypadku "wyspowy" oznacza izolowany, prawdopodobnie w wyniku fragmentacji siedliska.

"Island site" jest terminem funkcjonującym w ekologii, najczęściej w kontekście fragmentacji siedlisk i teorii biogeografii wysp (island biogeography theory).

Można porównać z tłumaczeniem podręcznika "Conservation biology" (wydanie polskie - "Biologiczne podstawy ochrony przyrody").
