Concept explainers
(a)
To discuss: The effect of island distance on the initial rate reassembly based on island biogeography theory.
Introduction: Defaunation refers to the removal of a particular species from an area. It is done specifically to test the effect of factors on the diversity of species.
(b)
To describe: The consistency of effect of distance on the recolonization of species.
Introduction: Two scientists gave the theory of island biogeography. It states many principles affecting the colonization of the islands.
(c)
To describe: The assurance of the test of the theory.
