60 THE PERFECT DESIGN IN THE UNIVERSE IS NOT BY CHANCE

Israeli biophysicist Lee M. Spetner
writes:
Plants do not proliferate in a field to the
point where they become crowded.
They do not engage in a "struggle for ex-
istence" where natural selection would
preserve the strong and destroy the
weak. Plants tend to control their popu-
lations by sensing the density of the
planting. When the growth is dense,
plants produce less seeds; when growth
is thin, they produce more seeds. 11
