Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The plant species on the island may evolve into an endemic species because they are isolated from individuals of the original species on the mainland, which can lead to genetic divergence and the formation of a distinct species. The introduction of seeds via migratory birds is a common way for species to colonize new areas and give rise to new species.
