Based on the theory of island biogeography,There are more species that have the ability to travel 5 kilometers than can travel 15 kilometers
The phrase "island biogeography theory" was coined by ecologists MacArthur and Wilson to describe the estimates of the number of species that may live on an island.According to island biogeography theory, the size of the island and its distance from the mainland are the two variables that have the biggest impact on the species richness in natural ecosystems on an island.These elements have an impact on extinction and immigration rates simultaneously. The distance between the island and the mainland, the number of species that continue to exist on the mainland but do not establish themselves on the island, and the likelihood that a species can move from the continent to the island are all factors that affect the inmigration rate, according to the theory.
