What are area effects
• Properties of populations may be different depending on the space available.
![Page 5: Area Effects and Competition in Fragments](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060116/5584024fd8b42a79268b49cb/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

What are area effects
• Properties of populations may be different depending on the space available.
• In particular, densities depend on area of the habitat.

What are area effects
• Properties of populations may be different depending on the space available.
• In particular, densities depend on area of the habitat.
• Common sense says that densities are larger for larger areas.

We have coexistence mediated by habitat restriction
Indeed: area reduction affects the stronger competitor

We have coexistence mediated by habitat restriction
Indeed: area reduction affects the stronger competitor
On a certain scale, the weaker competitor gets release of competitive pressure

We have coexistence mediated by habitat restriction
Indeed: area reduction affects the stronger competitor
On a certain scale, the weaker competitor gets release of competitive pressure
So, what we found is competitive release induced by area effects.

On a theoretical perspective we could argue that “there is no competition” ( as competition for resources is indirect)
