Hi, Toby530! Say, I noticed this article. Thank you for documenting it so thoroughly. I do want to point out one thing about footnotes, though. Wikipedia has a system for dealing with footnotes. You can read about that, and how it works, at WP:FOOT.

Don't worry about population modeling. I'll go through it and set up the footnotes using <ref> and </ref> tags. You might want to take a look at it in a day or two to see how I did that.

Thanks for a well-documented article! Have a great day. DavidCBryant 15:25, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Equations

Logistic Growth Equation: $dN/dt=rN(1-N/K)$ Lotka Volterra Equation: $dN1/dt=r1N1((K1-N1-alphaN2)/K1)$ Island Biogeography: $S=IP/(I+E)$ Species Area: $Log(S)=Log(c)+zLog(A)$

Math notation technique, ,formatting technique, and Wikipedia conventions

Equations

Logistic growth equation:

${\frac {dN}{dt}}=rN\left(1-{\frac {N}{K}}\right)\,$

Lotka-Volterra equation:

${\frac {dN_{1}}{dt}}=r_{1}N_{1}{\frac {K_{1}-N_{1}-\alpha N_{2}}{K_{1}}}\,$

Island biogeography:

$S={\frac {IP}{I+E}}$

Species area:

$\log(S)=\log(c)+z\log(A)\,$
