Transcribed Image Text:Hairston (1980) studied competition between two salamanders (Plethodon jordani & P. glutinosus) in
the eastern US. These two species exhibit different degrees of altitudinal overlap in different mountain ranges.
Hairston performed a series of removal experiments in 24 m diameter plots in each mountain range. Based upon
the results of many years of study, Hairston estimated the carrying capacities of each species (per plot) in each
mountain range. His data are shown below.
