What prediction is correct about island biogeography?

• Smaller islands have more resources, and will have more biodiversity

• Larger islands have more space for resources, but will have less biodiversity due to competition

• Animals Islands closer to mainland will migrate successfully and there will be more diversity

• Animals will fly to far away mainland and there will be more diversity

Which biome is more likely to survive a change in the environment?

• High (rich) biodiversity

• Low (poor) biodiversity

High biodiversity is important because...

• it means that the ecosystem is more able to recover from disturbances.

• it means that the ecosystem is less able to recover from disturbances.

• it means that organisms are healthier and have more opportunities.

• it means that organisms are less healthy and have less opportunities.
