The two pieces of literature are drastically different. “Describing and quantifying interspecific interactions: a commentary on recent approaches” is a piece which argues why certain approaches to interspecific interactions are better than others using the evidence of several studies and experiments, while “Neighbor Relations within a Community of Epiphytic Lichens and Bryophytes” is a report of the study conducted by the writers John and Dale. These are two distinct types of scientific writing; one is analyzing the works of others and determining something from that while the other piece tells of its own study. Therefore, aspects of each paper are different.

This is a yellow-tinged, cream-colored larvae that is approximately 3 centimetres long with six legs (three on the left side and three on the right, and two per segment of body) at the front of the body. There are 8 stub-like structures on segments 6-9 of the body that do not move (4 on the left, 4 on the right, 2 per segment) and 2 stubs on the end of the last segment (12th segment) that move independently. It has a dark brown head, and the first segment after the head is a lighter brown color. On the head, two eyes are visible and two hair like structures protrude from the side of each eye (perhaps antennae?) It has a brown dot on both sides (left and right) of segments 4-11 (could be pores?). The latter third of the body seems to move independently from the rest of the body. The larvae moves very slowly, if at all, which may indicate that it is nearing the pupal stage of life.
