Understanding the factors limiting a small population can guide management strategies.

Our work indicates that biotic factors play an important role in shaping species' trailing edges and more detailed examination of non-climatic factors is ... Aug 12, 2022 ... ... density-dependence. Environmental factors such as spawning and ontogenetic phenology (climate change and ice-off dates), trophic mismatches ... Jun 18, 2020 ... Conspecific negative density dependence is ubiquitous and has long been recognized as an important factor favoring the coexistence of ... Limiting factors operate to depress a population without regard to its number; limiting fac- tors are density independent. Regulating factors are spe- cial ... Also, elephants displayed a density-dependent increase in their selection of infrastructures, a response that was stronger for males than females. The risk of ... Nestling mass was not a factor in survival in the immediate post-fledging period, suggesting that density-dependent processes act indepen- dently on this stage. Oct 21, 2005 ... Temperature, precipitation, topography, soil, and predators are examples of powerful ecological factor groups that operate as density-dependent ... As population density increases the amount of deer food in the area declines; this decline in food affects deer body condition. Body condition serves as a ... I suggest that both density-dependent and independent factors operate simultaneously on wild turkey populations, where the relative strength of each is governed ... Factors that control tree seedling dynamics are critical determinants of forest diversity. We examined the role of density-dependent mortality and abiotic ...
