Figure 1: Results of 1000 Monte Carlo simulations for blow fly data collected from fly paper at all three alligator-decay sites. The test statistic for this simulation is the total number of co-occurrences (i.e., the number of times a species occurs on the same day in any pair of sites, summed for all species in the analyses). Closed arrows indicate the critical values at the 95.0% level. The observed total number of co-occurrences is shown with the open arrow. Probability of co-occurrence is expressed as a percent.
