Abstract
The percentage of endemic species of birds on islands increases with island area at a double logarithmic rate. This relation is apparently due to extinction, which is more rapid the smaller the island. The turnover resulting from extinction and replacement appears to be far more rapid than hitherto suspected.Year: 1965 PMID: 17743967 DOI: 10.1126/science.150.3703.1587
