The effects of area and surface complexity on the structure and formation of stream benthic communities
Rocks, situated in a stream riffle, can.be interpreted as islands. A sampling of macroinvertebrate communities found on a series of rocks 31 to 1000 cm² in surface area, produced a Log species- Log area curve with a slope of 0.352. This slope could not be compared to Preston’s prediction of a slope...
