BIOL 2335 Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: Isocline, Mechanical Equilibrium, Invasive Species
Document Summary
If big box is shows k1, 4 times as many species 2 could fit in this each member of species 2 is worth 1/4th that of species 1 so alpha1,2 = 0. 25. If alpha = 1, then the species are identical in terms of resource use effects of each species on each other is same for each species itself. If alpha < 1, then each species has smaller relative effect on other species. If alpha > 1, then each species effects other species more strongly than itself. How to interpret isocline diagram, isocline diagrams describing all possible outcomes. Types of equilibria that exist for each outcome. Competition limits species distributions: chthamalus exists in highest reaches of tidal range. Distribution of grasses is affected by competition. Competition can change species distribution: birds, all are physiologically capable of living in any area (4 areas) as long as. Concept of niche, and how generally to describe niche based on requirement of specie.
