Document Summary
Law of limiting similarity - organisms have high degree of niche overlap, cannot coexist for very long because of competition. With more data, you know more and you can solve more. This is known as phylogenetic clustering - in 2 dimensional niche spaces, species are found clustered in groups of species using similar resources. Seems to be most applied to primary succession. When the predator is more numerous, it drives down the abundance of the second pray species. S is the species on the island, a is the island"s area, and c and z are constants. The mangrove trees - they are like a palm tree with a problem lol. These are off of the coastline of florida. Every one of the individual trees was considered an island. Assay # and type of arthropods - sampled the canopy of each one of the trees. Experiment - close off each tree and treat it with an insectiside.
