The likelihood of a species native to these ecosystems to go extinct is termed the "rescue effect," while a similar tendency to lack fear of natural predators is known as these ecosystems' "tameness.
The likelihood of a species native to these ecosystems to go extinct is termed the "rescue effect," while a similar tendency to lack fear of natural predators is known as these ecosystems' "tameness." A theory originally applied to these ecosystems led to the SLOSS debate over whether single large or several small reserves were superior. Foster's Rule states that based on the resources of these ecosystems, organisms' sizes in them (*) tend towards extremes. Adaptive radiation tends to occur in these ecosystems, which are insular. Robert MacArthur and E. O. Wilson developed a "biogeography" for these ecosystems, in which uniquely isolated species, such as species of finches, were studied by Darwin on the Galapagos. For 10 points, name these ecological regions of subcontinental land surrounded by water.
