How does host density influence the spread and impact of invasive fungal diseases?

The persistence of prey encountering intense predation varies by species, prey density, and habitat type; however, the collective impact of these factors has ... We define density-dependent limiting factors as factors that affect the per capita growth rate of a population differently depending on how dense the ... In population ecology, density-dependent processes occur when population growth rates are regulated by the density of a population. It has been argued that bacteria communicate using small diffusible signal molecules to coordinate, among other things, the production of factors that are ...
