Question

According to theory of Island Biogeography, the rate of immigration of new species to an Island decreases as the number of species on the Island increases and the rate of species extinction on the Island increases as the number of species on the Island increases. Explain the reason behind these theories briefly.​

Answer 1

The theory of island biogeography explains that the biodiversity and number of species inhabiting an island are impacted by the island's land size and degree of isolation. Larger, less isolated islands have higher numbers of species, while smaller, more isolated islands have lower numbers of species.
