What are two factors that control the species diversity of an island, according the theory of island biogeography?
Answers can include: The farther an island is from the area from which species must migrate, the lower the species diversity. The larger the island the greater the species diversity. An island's species diversity results from a balance between the rates of extinction of species on the island and the colonization of species.
