Of the four islands in this archipelago, a SMALL island CLOSE TO the mainland would have the SECOND LOWEST equilibrium number of species. Biogeography studies species distribution.

Biogeography refers to the discipline that examines the range of distribution of species and taxonomic groups in a given geographical area over geological time.

The theory of island biogeography is a scientific theory that posits the idea that larger islands exhibit a greater amount of species (i.e., higher biodiversity) than smaller islands.

According to this theory (island biogeography), each island represents a particular unique ecosystem, which is different from other surrounding ecosystems.
