For which of the following reasons do small, isolated islands have a greater rate of
species extinction than larger, less isolated islands?

Respuesta :

Histrionicus

Answer:

Larger islands that are large and close to the mainland are shos lower rate of extinction due to the fact that the species present have more space so there will be more resources available in comparison to smaller islands where limited space and limited resources available.

Extinction is greater on islands isolated due to the unlikelihood of immigration and as it is opposite to the island close to the mainland and competition is more in isolated islands.

Lack of immigration, lower space and resources are the reasons small isolated islands have a greater rate of  extinction.

Large islands have large space for the growth of an organism as well as more resources which lowers the competition between organisms while on the other hand, small islands have lower space for growth and low amount of resources which causes to more competition leads to greater rate of extinction so we can conclude that lack of immigration, lower space and resources are the factors that affect the rate of extinction.
