during a recent hurricane, 25 individuals of the same butterfly species were blown onto a barrier island in southern florida. when the butterflies first arrived on the island, they did not have to compete for access to food or space. in addition, there were few natural predators such as wasps and birds which were common on the mainland. as a result, the island population will have a biotic potential compared to the mainland population.
