Match the following terms with the correct explanation
| 
 1) Robert Paine’s studies of the effects of starfish predation on the rocky intertidal community  | 
a)Light, temperature, latitude | 
| 2)Charles Darwin | b)Evolutionary change over successive generations due to the process of natural selection | 
| 3)Thomas Malthus | c) Small boulders = low diversity because species can’t tolerate high rates of boulder turnover,medium boulders = highest diversity because competitive exclusion is prevented by intermediate disturbance, large boulders = low diversity because of competitive exclusion in the absence of disturbance | 
| 4)Connell & Sousa’s study of the rocky intertidal community | d) Exponential population growth | 
| 
 5)Large scale abiotic factors that determine ecosystem diversity  | 
e)Presence of a “Keystone Predator” increases local community diversity by preventing competitive exclusion |
