Interspecific Spatial Overlap

摘要: Interspecific spatial overlap profiles are constructed for several pairs of iguanid lizard species. The depict the proportion activity points within territories and home ranges target lizards that shared with individuals other Results show populations some may incur little or no from species, whereas others have high overlap. These patterns be sustained through entire seasons activity. Profile shapes included distributions were unimodal strongly skewed, bimodal, uniform roughly equivalent proportions low, intermediate, overlaps. Spatial idiosyncratic, neither characterizing a particular pair nor typifying specific habitat type. observations provide insight into results experimental studies weak undetectable effects competition at population level, but include asymmetric targeted individuals. In addition, because species variable, interactions cannot characterized by an manipulation conducted in just one habitat.
