It makes sense that the larger the area of a region, the larger the number of species that inhabit the region. Many ecologists have modeled the species-area relation with a power function and, in particular, the number of species S of bats living in caves in central Mexico has been related to the surface area A measured in
of the caves by the equation
S = 0.7A03
(a) The cave called mission impossible near puebla, mexico, has suface area of A=90m2.
How many species of bats would expect to find in that cave?
(b) If you discover that 5 species of bats live in cave estimate the area of the cave.
a) species
b) 702m2
