This study guide covers Island Biogeography Theory (IBT), focusing on the relationship between island size, distance, immigration, and extinction rates, and their effect on species richness. It also explores invasive species, their characteristics, impacts, and the contrast with endemic species. Finally, it touches upon evolutionary concepts like adaptive radiation using Darwin's finches as an example and provides practice questions for the AP Environmental Science exam.
