METHODS Morphological space.--Our analysis is based on the position of each member of a community in an n- dimensional morphological hyperspace of which the axes are the logarithms of n measurements.
Morphological characters.--In this analysis, we have described morphological space by eight charac- ters, chosen according to availability of published data, ease of measurement, and lack of redundancy.
Morphological separation and ecological overlap were inversely related in small communities, but this relationship was less pronounced in larger assemblages.
