The number of species S on the island increases as new species immigrate and decreases as species already present become extinct . When the rates of immigration ( I ) and extinction ( E ) are equal ( where the curves cross ) ...

species are doomed to almost immediate extinction through competitive exclusion . Most such species are not fossilized , since their extinction follows so quickly on the heels of their genesis . Thus it is difficult to tell from the ...
