W ANGERSKY and W ANGERSKY'S (1980, 1981, 1983) Manna models on algal patchiness and competition are essentially stochastic models. Analysis of their phase‐spatial properties, however, reveals complementary, deterministic features: interspecific competition is relatively ineffective because of the high degree of compartmentalization of resource supply and consumption; the probability of consumption in a given place at a given time is largely independent of the rate of consumption in other places.
