The MacArthur-Wilson equilibrium model of island biogeography predicts the number of species found on islands. The figure below depicts two volcanic islands located off a section of mainland coast.

The MacArthur-Wilson model predicts that the relative numbers of bird species on the mainland and two islands would be

The MacArthur-Wilson equilibrium model of island biogeography predicts the number of species found on islands. The figure below depicts two volcanic islands located off a section of mainland coast.

According to the MacArthur-Wilson model, how would the number of bird species change from the time of an island's formation (assuming it remains constant in size and isolation)?

The MacArthur-Wilson equilibrium model of island biogeography predicts the number of species found on islands. The figure below depicts two volcanic islands located off a section of mainland coast.

According to  the  MacArthur-Wilson model, the  number of  bird  species present on  Island 2  at  any  one  time is  a function of the relative rates of
