A graph of predicted species diversity and extinction rates on different islands is shown here. Assume that a group of island forms off of the mainland from volcanic eruptions, creating Islands of bare rock
Which of these describes the processes that provide for the greatest species diversity after an island forms?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The larger islands closest to the mainland will have the highest species diversity and lowest extinction rate.

Explanation:

Since larger islands can support a bigger community of plants and animals, they will have more biodiversity. Since closer islands will have more migration from the mainland, they will have more colonization and fewer extinctions. Therefore, primary succession will happen and result in a larger, more species-rich community on the closest and largest islands.
