Would you expect to find more unique species on a large remote island or on a smaller island that is close to a large continent?
You would generally expect to find more unique species on a large remote island. Larger islands provide more diverse habitats and resources, which can support a greater variety of species. Additionally, being remote limits the number of species that can migrate from the mainland, leading to higher levels of endemism. In contrast, smaller islands near a continent may have more species overall due to easier access for colonization, but they are less likely to have as many unique species.
