Document Summary

L-v when intraspecific competition is greater than interspecific competition. R* theory (for the sake of the class to not overly complicate the theory for the students) when there are multiple resources and the species each have a lower r* for opposite resources. No, because the consumption of co2 does not affect the supply of the resource: you measure the size of 2 populations of h. ulvae and 2 populations of h. ventrosa. One population of h. ulvae co-occurs with a population of h. ventrosa (those labeled sympatric in the figure). The other populations are allopatric (i. e. , only h. ulvae is present in the area and only h. ventrosa is present in another area). The ecological force is character displacement: describe the difference between batesian and mullerian mimicry. Batesian mimicry involves a palatable species mimicking an unpalatable species, whereas mullerian mimicry involves multiple unpalatable species mimicking each other.
