Today, any environment surrounded by other ecosystems that are unlike it is subject to Wilson’s theory of island biogeography. Because they are geographically isolated from other related ecosystems, these ecologies are referred to as "islands." Waterbodies divide tropical islands, but this idea also takes into account mountaintops, caverns, and other isolated ecosystems.

<h3>What is Wilson’s theory of island biogeography?</h3>
  • The biologist Edward O. Wilson and environmentalist Robert MacArthur published The Theory of Island Biogeography in 1967. It is widely considered as a foundational work in the ecology and biogeography of islands. The book was reissued by the Princeton University Press in 2001 as a volume in their "Princeton Landmarks in Biology" series.
  • The hypothesis that insular biota maintain a dynamic equilibrium between extinction and immigration rates was made more well-known by the book. An island's pace of new species immigration will decline as the number of species increases, while the rate of extinction of native species will rise.
  • Thus, MacArthur and Wilson anticipate that there will come a point of equilibrium where the rate of immigration and the rate of extinction are equal.

WILL BRAINLIST CORRECT ANSWER PLATO
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

I believe the first one would be incomplete dominance, the second would be multiple alleles, and the third would be codominance.

Explanation:

The first one would be incomplete dominance because the child has a blend of the man's straight hair and the woman's curly hair, but neither of two hair types are completely dominant (if that makes sense).

The second one would be multiple alleles because, well, there are multiple alleles listed (more straightforward than the other two).

And the third one would be codominance because the traits of red color and white color are equally dominant.

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

The <u>nuclear  envelope</u> is composed of two concentric lipid bilayer membranes separated by an intermembrane space of about 20-40 nm. The outer membrane is continuous in many places with the rough endoplasmic reticulum. Like the rough ER the outer membrane of the nuclear envelope is dotted with ribosomes.
