Activity 2.3 Island Biogeography Simulation Report
February 13, 2023 1.0 Introduction Biogeography is the study of the geographical distribution of organisms such as plants and animals across space and time. In terms of biogeography, there are three main types: ecological, historical, and conservation. Each of which looks at biogeography through a different lens. Through biogeography, we are able to study species' natural patterns and behavior in order to better conserve and protect our natural environments in the future (Britannica, 2020). Within such environments it is important to have good biodiversity. Biodiversity, or the variety of life in a particular area, plays an irreplaceable role in our life on earth as a species. It is the structure that provides us with our food, water, oxygen, and overall health (National Geographic Society, 2022). This biological diversity is composed of several different categories such as genetic diversity, species diversity and ecosystem diversity. Species diversity refers to the variety of sp...
