-
S=cAz
- S= Number of species
- A= Area (of an island)
- C/z= constants. Vary for each study
log(S)= log(c) + zlog(A)
-
More isolated islands=
bigger z value
-
Larger Area=
- More species because of variations in disturbance, climate, and habitat
- Greater populations= less prone to extinction
-
Top Left, Bottom Left, Top Right, Bottom Right of equilibrium model of island biogeography
- (Immigration)Near, Far
- (Extinction) Small, Large
