One of the strongest rules of biological diversity - the observation that more species live on large islands than on small ones - is usually attributed to the balance between colonization and extinction. But speciation on islands cannot be ignored.
生物多样性的一个最强规则 - 即在大型岛屿上生活的物种比在小型岛屿上多的观察结果 - 通常归因于殖民化和灭绝之间的平衡。但岛屿上的物种形成也不容忽视。
