Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Stepping-stone dispersal refers to the movement of organisms from one island to another, sometimes across a series of intermediate islands that serve as stepping-stones. This allows organisms to colonize remote islands that they would not be able to reach through other means of dispersal, such as waif dispersal (drifting on ocean currents) or corridor dispersal (moving along a continuous land bridge). Sweepstakes dispersal refers to a rare and unpredictable event, such as being carried on a floating log, that allows a small number of organisms to reach a distant island.
