MаcArthur аnd Wilsоn’s mоdel оf islаnd biogeography predicts the species richness on islands by balancing the effect of immigration and local extinction. This model also provides a framework for predicting island richness for islands close or far from mainland sources, as well as for islands that vary in size. Please use your knowledge to match the curves A-D with the appropriate terms: immigration rate, extinction rate, large, small, near, or far. Please note for immigration and extinction rates please just write either immigration or extinction (only one word). Fill in each box with only the terms available. Precise spelling for your entry is provided (no other entries are permitted). Do not use ANY capital letters in your response. Examine the graph above. Then, fill in the table with two terms (from the list of terms above) that appropriately describe this graphical model. All responses should be one word only and entirely lower case. No other response will earn credit. Curve Term 1(either immigration or extinction) Term 2(choose from: small, large, near, or far) A B C D
