Cain (1944) stated:
Physiological processes are multi-conditioned, and an investigation of the effects of variation of a single factor, when all others are controlled, cannot be applied directly to an interpretation of the role of that factor in nature. It is impossible, then, to speak of a single condition of a factor as being the cause of an observed effect in an organism.
Discuss the implications of this principle-that the factors of the environment act collectively and simultaneously-with regard to methods for studying species distributions.
