It Makes Sense That the Larger the Area of a Region

question 81

Short Answer

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 $m ^ { 2 }$ of the caves by the equation $S = 0.7 A ^ { 03 }$
(a) The cave called mission impossible near puebla, mexico, has suface area of $A = 90 \mathrm {~m} ^ { 2 }$ . 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.
