The Caribbean monk seal was declared extinct in 2008. Although there are other types of seals on Earth, Caribbean monk seals cou
aliina [53]

The correct answer is - species.

The extinct Caribbean monk seal was a species of seal that lived in a relatively small area in only one prat of the planet. Also, this species lived in waters that are not typical for the other seals. Because the Caribbean monk seal was isolated from the other species of seals, its genes over time became different enough from the other types of seals so that they can not mate and produce offspring between each other. While the isolation made it a unique type of seal, it was also very unfortunate because it meant that it can not be saved, at least in a mixed form, by mating with other seals, so this species of seal went extinct.

Which of the following statements about the equilibrium theory of island biogeography is FALSE?
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

b) At equilibrium, the species composition of an island will not change.

Explanation:

The Theory of Island Biogeography written by Robert H. MacArthur and Edward O. Wilson (1967) is an essential book for any professional working in biogeography, biodiversity, ecology, conservation and related fields. The theory of island biogeography states that species diversity on islands tends to approach a dynamic equilibrium due to the balance between colonization (inmigration), speciation and extinction. At equilibrium, the species composition of an island will change, precisely at the time that immigration and extinction processes maintain the number of species in a dynamic equilibrium, thereby maintaining species diversity. In this case, the colonization rate represents a function of distance to the continent (or other islands), the extinction rate is a function of the size of the island and habitat heterogeneity, and speciation is a function of time. This book also contains a series of useful considerations: 1-the number of species in an area is directly associated with the size of the area; 2-large islands support more diverse communities than small islands; 3-the viability of populations on island systems can be considered as a function of the island size and its proximity to the mainland (or other islands); and 4- when a habitat is lost the remaining fragmented area may lose some of its important species.
