Talk:R*

I'm not quite sure how to produce a page that discusses r* and the surrounding theory of resource competition properly. Perhaps it requires a broader topic heading.

A page devoted to R* is a good idea! --OpenScience (talk) 11:50, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

I actually think we should devote this page to Tilman's R*, and leave the Rock star out. --OpenScience (talk) 14:28, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Changed notation
I changed r* into R*, because that is what Tilman uses (and it is also in line with notation commonly used).

See Tilman's Resource Competition and Community Structure, page 44

Draft version for a stub on R*
R* is a symbol for a concept from theoretical ecology. It is the resource level at which the number of births in a population per unit time equal the number of deaths. R* gave its name to the R* rule or R* principle, which states that the species with lowest R* will out compete and exclude all other species. It also gave its name to R* theory, which is a body of theory that deals with resource competition more generally, including competition for multiple resources.

rockstar
Rockstar seems to use the symbol $$R_{*}$$ rather than $$R^{*}$$. I suggest removing it from this disambiguation page unless information to the contrary is found. Tkuvho (talk) 07:39, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
