The current growing body of evidence for diversity—disturbance relationships suggests that the peaked pattern predicted by the intermediate disturbance hypothesis (IDH) may not be the rule. Even if ...

The 'intermediate disturbance hypothesis' (IDH) predicts maximum species diversity at intermediate levels of disturbance. Disturbance levels are measured by intensity or frequency of disturbance or by ...

For this pairs-share approach give half the class the Sousa data and the other half the Lubchenco data (that is, individual student are given - or have access to - one of the data sets). Students ...

To prepare the class for a discussion of disturbance and the intermediate disturbance hypothesis you have data from either of 2 papers. One is Wayne Sousa's 1979 study called "Disturbance in marine ...
