Communities in different areas may be organized in different ways. For instance, C. Ralph (1985) found that in Patagonia in Argentina, as foliage height diversity increases, bird species diversity decreases. This result is exactly the opposite of the pattern observed by MacArthur (1958) and others reviewed in chapter 16. Design a study aimed at determining the environmental factors determining variation in bird species diversity
across Ralph’s Patagonian study sites.

One approach would be to first document where bird diversity is higher and where it is lower. Next, study how birds in these areas use space, food, and other resources and then explore the data set for systematic variation in these factors along the bird diversity gradients of the region. Predator and competitor distributions might also be correlated to bird diversity gradients.
