The species-area and species-distance relationships of terrestrial mammals in the Thousand Island Region of the St. Lawrence River are totally consistent with the basic predictions of the equilibrium theory of island biogeography. The power model provides the best fit for the species-area relationship, and the z-value of 0.305 does not differ significantly from Preston's canonical value (0.26). Distance (D) is a normal determinant (Sαe -D ) of mammalian richness, and 93% of the variability in richness is accounted for by island area and isolation. The high z-values and poor species-distance correlations reported in previous studies of mammalian island biogeography, rather than evidencing non-equilibrium, are predictions consistent with the equilibrium theory for distant archipelagoes or, equivalently, poor immigrators such as mammals.
圣劳伦斯河千岛地区陆生哺乳动物的物种 - 面积关系和物种 - 距离关系与岛屿生物地理学平衡理论的基本预测完全一致。幂模型最能拟合物种 - 面积关系，0.305的z值与普雷斯顿的标准值（0.26）无显著差异。距离（D）是哺乳动物丰富度的一个常规决定因素（Sαe -D ），丰富度93%的变异性可由岛屿面积和隔离度来解释。先前哺乳动物岛屿生物地理学研究中报道的高z值和较差的物种 - 距离相关性，并非表明非平衡状态，而是与遥远群岛或等效的如哺乳动物这类较差迁入者的平衡理论相一致的预测。
