View Available Hint(s) Jenkins and Buikema tested the Clements-Gleason dichotomy by . artificially creating sterile ponds and looking at how community structure developed as plankton species colonized the ponds studying logged forest clear-cuts and looking at the sequence of plants that colonized the clear-cuts creating artificial, harmless mimics of toxic species and comparing survival rates of the toxic species and the mimics introducing predatory crabs to aquaria and looking at resulting adaptations of prey species
