The following figure is a model of seedling establishment as a function of distance from a parent tree. Initial seed density measures the number of seeds falling to the ground. Seed survivorship measures the proportion of seeds that survive to the adult stage at each distance
This model predicts that recruitment of new individuals into the population should 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, the number of bird species present on Island 2 at any one time is a function of the relative rates of

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)?
