What does the model of island biogeography predict about: A. the relationship between the distance of an island from the mainland and immigration of species? Draw a graph depicting the relationship.B. the relationship between the size of an island and the rate of extinction? Draw a graph depicting the relationship.C. what type of island will have a higher equilibrium species richness than the other types of islands? Combine (and draw) the two previous graphs and indicate the equilibrium species richness of each island.
What will be an ideal response?
A. The model of island geography predicts that the number of immigrating species to the near island would be higher than the number of immigrating species to the island that is farther away.
B. The model of island geography predicts that the small island will have a higher extinction rate than a large island.
C. By combining the two graphs, the equilibrium species richness on the four different island types may be predicted. A large island that is near to the mainland will have a higher equilibrium richness than the other types of islands.
