Can ecosystems with strong density-dependent regulation recover more quickly from perturbations?

Density-dependent factors are environmental variables that influence population growth in relation to the population density. These factors typically become ... Jan 1, 2015 ... The strength of a regulating factor is dependent on overall deer density and population size relative to K. Stronger regulating effects ... DENSITY-DEPENDENT FACTORS REGULATING FEEDING SUCCESS OF. IXODES SCAPULARIS LARVAE (ACARI: IXODIDAE). M. L. Levin and D. Fish. Yale University, Department of ... Feb 15, 2024 ... Population density is one of the key factors affecting dispersal patterns. The relationship between natal dispersal and population density ... ... equally influenced by stochastic and density-independent events (such as environmental perturbations) than by intrinsic (i.e. density-dependent) factors. Here we report on both density-dependent and density-independent effects in a murid rodent pest species, the multimammate rat Mastomys natalensis. Oct 27, 2013 ... Besides temperature, we found that rainfall was a further important factor only in the warmer area (Trento province). Abundant rainfall during ... Density-dependent factors are environmental influences that depend on population size or density, such as competition for resources, predation, and disease. Small animals are more likely to be affected by density-independent factors, with populations only occasionally reaching K except in unusual environmental ... Definition. Density dependent factors are environmental factors that affect a population's size and growth rate based on the population's density. These factors ...
