Summary Introduction

To review:

The future studies of competition that might avoid biases in the scientific literature on the competition.

Introduction:

Interspecific competition is caused when different species in the population use the same limiting resources. It is responsible for the elimination of one or more of the competing populations. The competition may lead to fighting for resources between the species or lead to more than two populations exploiting the same limiting resources.

Explain the premise of the Lotka-Volterra Competition Model and what it tells us about the competitive exclusion principle
Explain how temporal and spatial variation can change outcome of competition (which means you need to define the terms). Another way to put this: In the real world, organisms compete in areas that are quite varied. What affect does that variation (both spatially and temporally) have on how they compete.
For your summer research project, you decide to repeat Lillian Tuttle’s (2017) experiment testing the effect of lionfish on other fish that are cleaners and clients. You do this new experiment at a new location (Bonaire), but use basically the same experimental approach and BACI design as Tuttle. a)     You do not separate resident and transient clients (as Tuttle did), and below is a graph of your results showing the effect of the treatment on the total density of client fish in the community. Please explain your result. Imagine that you are planning to publish your experiment and that your answer to this question will be part of the “Results” section of your paper. Please do not worry about hypothetical statistical tests; just assume that the obvious patterns displayed in the graph can be interpreted at face value.
