The galapagos islands are an excellent example of island biogeography theory. wildlife conservationists can use the galapagos as an illustration of what not to do and what they should do when designing nature preserves and parks. one important concept behind any park or preserve design, as illustrated by the galapagos, is that

a. that many small fragments or parks are always better than one large park or large mainland.

b. when there are many fragments or smaller parks, interaction is enhanced by building corridors.

c. when there are many fragments or smaller parks, interaction between them is always restricted.

d. the distance between fragments or parks is not a great consequence due to dispersal mechanisms and migration.

B. Interaction between islands or fragments is nit always restricted if there are corridors present to allow for interactions such as migration and breeding. Conservations note that one large habitat is favored over many small habitats in that it can support greater biodiversity.
