Abstract
Where two crustose lichen thalli meet at a ‘ truce ’ boundary theshape of the boundary can be used to evaluate models of how lichen growth rates change with thallus size. The application of this method to studies of intra- and interspecific competition are discussed.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
