Based on what we learned in the lecture on spatial structure andon competition, how important is it to vary spatial structure whencharacterizing competitive interactions? Use specific empiricalexamples to support your opinion. To what extent could you predictthe competitive outcomes in the natural world if you only studiedwell-mixed environments? What is the paradox of the plankton?describe a solution to it.
Given what you know about microorganisms, their traits, andwhere and how they live, do you think non-transitive interactionsoccur frequently?
