Question

Wildlife preserves can be thought of as islands containing populations that are isolated due to the surrounding human-altered landscape. Conservation biologists often strive to preserve large areas based partially on the predictions of island biogeography. However, a single large area is more vulnerable to negative effects from _______ than are multiple small areas.

Answer 1
