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)?
