After DQP and Ockham, two more principles (from the birds)

[Chris J. Durden]

Yes we sure can with the understanding of a shift of scale in the 
geography. The smaller the organism - the more can be packed in to the same 
volume of habitat. As well as allo/sympatry we need to consider 
allo/syntopy, allo/synchrony, and allo/synoecy. Expect the boundary 
relations to get weird as the numbers increase and the available space 
seems larger to smaller organisms.
