I reproduced Jane Lubchenco's experiment, Plant Species Diversity in a Marine Intertidal Community: Importance of Herbivore Food Preference and Algal Competitive Abilities.  This experiment greatly conveys how competition among organisms increase species richness in the intertidal zone.  This experiment conveys "the results of an Experimental evaluation of the effect of generalized herbivores on plant diversity in a rocky intertidal community (Lubchenco, 23)."  In these experimental evaluations, there were many experiments conducted to fully explain her hypothesis.  The experiment that I will focus of is the "Effect of Littorina littorea on Composition of Tide Pool Algae."
