Summary Introduction
To determine: The reason why researchers conducted a thorough species survey of arthropods before experimental removal of all arthropod species.
Introduction: Ecologists Daniel Simberloff and E. O. Wilson conducted one of the most rigorous tests to test the predictions of the equilibrium model of island biogeography. The test was conducted in the islands of Florida Keys and studied small red mangrove islands (Rhizophora mangle).
