Why do species often form on new islands?
Islands are relatively isolated environments, so there it is less likely that an existing species will move in and outcompete a developing one, and also easier for an existing species to die out since there aren't external populations to replace them. This instability means that the environment can change more quickly, and therefore species must adapt more quickly, compared to the relatively stable environment on the mainland.
