Refer to the table and figure.
Table 1
Figure 1
You are investigating patterns of species richness on two different continents (Continent 1 and Continent 2) to determine how species richness patterns differ between them. For multiple study sites on each of the two continents, you sample the local species richness and compare it to the species richness of the broader region to which each site belongs. The data on species richness are shown in the table. Which process, regional or local, is the dominant driver of the species richness pattern on each continent? Explain your answers.
