Question

What pattern do you observe in the data of islands (Area vs Mammalian species)? 
 

Answer 1

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
Species-Area relationship.

Step 2: Detailed Explanation:
As the area increases from 1 to 1000 \(km^2\), the number of species increases from 5 to 150.
The pattern shows that as we explore a larger area, we find more species.

Step 3: Final Answer:
Direct correlation between Area and Species count.

Answer 2

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
Pioneer of Biogeography.

Step 2: Detailed Explanation:
Alexander von Humboldt explored South American jungles and proposed this mathematical relationship.

Step 3: Final Answer:
Alexander von Humboldt.

Answer 3

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
The species-area relationship follows a power function.

Step 2: Detailed Explanation:
\[ S = CA^z \]
Where \(S\) = Species richness, \(A\) = Area, \(Z\) = Slope of the line, \(C\) = Y-intercept.

Step 3: Final Answer:
\(S = CA^z\).
