“…This change in population structure has been reported in a large number of terrestrial species (e.g. Koyama & Kira, 1956;Obeid et aL, 1967;Ford, 1975;Mohler et al, 1978). Changes in seaweed population structures have been reported only for plants of a visible size, yet a knowledge of early population structure is fundamental to our understanding of seaweed population dynamics.…”

“…Furthermore, because canopy-cleared areas were large, discs were spatially separated from source plants by up to 2 m, and dispersal ranges in fucoids may limit propagule supply at this scale (Norton, 1992;Chapman, 1995). The experimental monitoring of the F. serratus populations was designed to test a particular assumption widespread in plant demography that a population of seeds (or gametes or zygotes) starts with a normally distributed, narrow range of plant sizes, but that the population develops a positive skew and a size hierarchy as individual plants become more variable in size (Koyama & Kira, 1956;Stern, 1965;Obeid et al, 1967;Ogden, 1970;White & Harper, 1970;Ford, 1975;Mohler et al, 1978;Turner & Rabinowitz, 1983;Higgins et al, 1984;Weiner & Solbrig, 1984;Weiner, 1985;Schmitt et al, 1986;Weiner & Thomas, 1986;Bonan, 1988;Bendel et al, 1989). Unfortunately there is little evidence to support or refute this in microscopic seaweed populations as no population studies have been concerned with size distributions of gametes, newly settled zygotes or very small germlings/"embryos".…”

“…For example, Mohler et al (1978) presented an analysis in which the correlation between log m arid log N was reasonably high (r2 = 0.72), yet the regression slope, y = -1.2 1, was less steep than the PCA estimate, y = -1.52. Since most thinning lines have been fit by regression (Westoby 1984), there may be an important bias toward underestimating the steepness of thinning slopes, particularly since for many size-density correlations r2 is well below 1 when the data are correctly analyzed in log B-log N form (Weller 1985).…”

“…A simple least-squares line is therefore inappropriate (Mohler et al 1978). Hutchings & Budd (1981) overcame this by subjectively excluding plots where self-thinning did not seem to be occurring.…”
