Based on Joe Connell’s experiments to investigate the distribution of large and small barnacles in the rocky intertidal, what happened when the small barnacles were transplanted lower in the intertidal?

Peak diversity at intermediate levels of disturbance is a result of both r and K selected species, as well as species with intermediate life histories, being present simultaneously in the   community.

Dominant structure-providing organisms were consumed by very large herbivores until humans consumed too many of those large herbivores.

Reflecting their more ancient evolutionary history, a greater proportion of shark species than of boney fish species reproduce by spawning eggs and sperm into the water  column.

Dominant structure-providing organisms can be eliminated by herbivores if they are unchecked by predation 

Health of the ecosystem would benefit if populations of currently depleted large herbivores could rebuild, because the dominant plants are more vulnerable to self-shading and disease when they get too large 

Explicitly uses terms from the logistic growth equation, i.e., intrinsic rate of increase and carrying capacity, to describe different life history strategies
