ITs fun and why not?
About the two stradums of reproduction. There is actually a cline from one end to the other.
As I have mentioned so many times. Field biologists make very odd decisions. For instance, they tend to pick what they think are normal undisturbed populations and call those normal. The problem is, a saturated population is made up of older larger individuals and is at its lowest need to recruit, the population is filled. While this is interesting, its not what the animals are designed to do. They are designed to recruit after major interruptions. Like floods, or fires, or global warming or cooling(they have been thru that stuff U know) ITs at this time that reptiles are exhibiting their potential.
Which is the part that Tom and I are talking about, as they monitors are mass collected out of these areas, they are reacting by mass producing. As long as they keep collecting the area, it will produce massive numbers, but as soon as they stop, the area will saturate and recruitment will slow way down. Think about that, its fun. Cheers
