Answer: Reason Why

Explanation: A bigger target is easier to hit than a small one, and a big island is more likely to have species land on it by chance than a small one is. Larger islands have more space than smaller islands, so there are likely to be more resources available for species to use. The opposite is true for smaller islands.
