The diagram below shows patches of habitat that are either colonized (red dots) or not colonized (green dots). Which conclusion can be drawn from the data? 100 10 0.1 0.01 Patch status in 1991 • Colonized • Not colonized 0.01 0.1 10 100 Distance from nearest occupied patch (km) A. Patches that have the smallest area and are closest to another occupied patch are most likely to be colonized. O B. Patches with the smallest area are most likely to be colonized; the distance to the nearest occupied patch does not affect colonization rates. O C. Patches that are very close to another occupied patch or that have large areas are most likely to be colonized. O D. Patches that have the largest area and are farthest away from another occupied patch are most likely to be colonized. O E. There is no relationship between patch size and rate of colonization.
