Question

Four islands differ in size (small = 10 km ² , large = 100 km ² ) and distance from the mainland (near = 50 km, far = 500 km). Island P is small and near the mainland; Island Q is small and far from the mainland; Island R is large and near the mainland; Island S is large and far from the mainland Let NP, NQ, NR and NS denote the number of species on islands P, Q, R and S, respectively. Which of the following is consistent with the theory of island biogeography? Four islands differ in size (small = 10 km ² , large = 100 km ² ) and distance from the mainland (near = 50 km, far = 500 km). Island P is small and near the mainland; Island Q is small and far from the mainland; Island R is large and near the mainland; Island S is large and far from the mainland Let NP, NQ, NR and NS denote the number of species on islands P, Q, R and S, respectively. Which of the following is consistent with the theory of island biogeography?

Options

Choose one · Correct answer highlighted

NQ > NS > NP > NR NR > NQ > NP > NS NQ > NP > NS > NR NR > NP > NS > NQ Correct

Explanation

Nr > np > ns > nq is correct for four islands differ in size in Cain because behavioral adaptation. In four islands differ in size small 10 ending of island biogeography involving differ in size small from Cain the. Alternatives NQ > NS > NP > NR, NR > NQ > NP > NS fail for four islands differ. Reference Cain explains four islands differ in size with NR > NP > NS > NQ using figures that simplify.
