Abstract

AbstractThe effects of randomness of food supply on the composition of a model community with a single trophic level was studied by the use of a Monte Carlo model. Many of the features of benthic communities, including co‐existence of many species in apparent species mosaics, can be seen to be responses to the random food distribution. Measures of diversity and species dominance may actually be indirectly indicating rate of food supply.
