Equilibrium Theory of Island Biogeography Slides from Biogeography (2006) Lomolino, Riddle & Brown Sinauer
Log S = Log c + z Log A
Distance from Mainland: Fewer Species
Immigration & Extinction: I(S), E(S)
Predicting Equilibrium Species Number
Relative turnover rates tend to be lower for organisms with longer generation times
