Abstract
Abstract This paper is based upon work done with K. R. Hackwell in Ecology Division to provide a better basis for comments on management proposals. We began from the assumption that conservation of species and their habitats is desirable. Much conservation can be done in man‐modified habitats, but here we are dealing purely with the reservation of land of natural character.

This new model predicts that when immigration rates are high relative to extinction rates, turnover rate is directly related to the distance between an island and the source of colonizing species.

1,805 Citations1962F. W. Preston
Not only is the distribution lognormal, but the constants or parameters seem to be restricted in a peculiar way, and they are not fixed, but they are interlocked.

Cole's theoretical conclusion that one large site generally contains more species than several small ones of equal total area is falsified by data in the literature, as is his contention that exceptions will only occur when the species in the sites are but a small fraction of those in the species pool.
The American NaturalistUsing Island Biogeographic Distributions to Determine if Colonization is Stochastic
210 Citations1978Daniel Simberloff
A number of models for the process of island colonization have been proposed in the literature, but analysis to date has not been sufficiently profound that one must discard Occam's razor and seek different explanations for the distributions of different taxa.
