Yes, the phylogenies of the different islands support the theory that one colonization followed by adaptive radiation and convergent evolution occurred.

Adaptive radiation is recognized as one of the most important processes responsible for the origin of biological diversity. Convergent evolution occurs when species have different ancestral origins but have developed similar features.
