Island biogeography theory states that the number of species on an island is determined by immigration rates of new species to the island and extinction rates of species on the island. Immigration rates to an island decline as its distance from the mainland increases adn extinction rates decreases with increasing island size. when the immigration and extinction rates on an island are equal, the number of species on the island reaches equilibrium.
