Summary Introduction
To review:
The future studies of competition that might avoid biases in the scientific literature on the competition.

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.

- Below are three statements - two of which are truths and one is a lie. Which of the following statements is a lie?

In many SAR missions, searchers are dispatched in the wilderness or urban areas to look for clues of the lost person (e.g., footprints, personal belongs). One manager proposes that every searcher should be given a drone to help their search. However, a volunteer trained in human factors disagrees on the basis of the multiple resource theory. Briefly describe the task of searching for clues and flying a drone. Use the multiple resource theory (including all three components) to indicate why providing drones for searchers may indeed result in inferior SAR performance.arrow_forward
