Question
Chapter 54.4, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: How species richness is affected by the island size and its distance from the main land.
Concept introduction: Species diversity cab be determined as total number of species present in a community. Islands can have a huge diversity on them with the progress of time as they are generally new lands for the organisms. The nearest islands have huge species richness value as compared to ones that are away from the mainland, which is native place of species. It depends upon the number of immigrants which balances the extinction and equilibrium species number remains constant.

Describe the Island Biogeography Model and how it predicts levels of species richness on ‘islands’. Explain how the model relates to conservation biology and can be used for managing biodiversity?
Choose one of the following factors and explain how and why species richness varies with it: temporal variation, latitude, succession. Give a specific example.
