Lecture 5 Insular Gigantism and Dwarfism-island biogeography

Lecture 5 Insular Gigantism and Dwarfism-island biogeography. Island giants are aplenty: Komodo has its dragons. Madagascar has its giant hissing cockroach. Until about 1,000 years ago, New Zealand had its colossal bird, the moa.

Geographic Ecology

Geographic Ecology. On islands and habitat fragments on continents, species richness increases with area and decreases with isolation. Species richness on islands can be modeled as a dynamic balance between immigration and extinction of species.

Islands

Islands Islands can serve almost as a laboratory for the study of biogeography. The biota of an island is simpler than that of a continental area, and the interactions are easier to understand. Islands are often depauperate in species numbers relative to mainland areas.

Introduction

Introduction. What is a Community? A community is defined as an assemblage of species living close enough together for potential interaction. Communities differ in their species richness , the number of species they contain, and the relative abundance of different species.
