Density of intertidal barnacles along their full elevational range of distribution conforms to the abundant-centre hypothesis
The abundant-centre hypothesis (ACH) predicts that the density of a species should peak at its distribution centre and decrease similarly towards distribution margins. The ACH has been deduced from a theory that postulates that environmental conditions should be most favourable for a species at the...
