How are scientists investigating the role of density-dependent factors in the context of rapid environmental change?

Jan 1, 2015 ... The strength of a regulating factor is dependent on overall deer density and population size relative to K. Stronger regulating effects ... Apr 6, 2016 ... In real-life situations, population regulation is very complicated and density-dependent and independent factors can interact. A dense ... Density-dependent factors change in intensity based on population size, acting as a form of population regulation, while density-independent factors can cause ... Definition. Density dependent factors are environmental factors that affect a population's size and growth rate based on the population's density. These factors ... 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 factors that limit the population when it reaches a certain density. Some examples of density dependent factors that ... ... density dependent with density independent effects on vital rates and population trajectories. Our data and model do not support the hypothesized recent ... Density-dependent factors are environmental variables that influence population growth in relation to the population density. These factors typically become ... For example, the mode of pathogen transmission might be one important factor (see Fenton et al. 2002 and references therein). The form of density dependence is ... Most density-dependent factors are biological in nature (biotic), and include predation, inter- and intraspecific competition, accumulation of waste, and ...
