Detecting density dependence in recovering seal populations.
Time series of abundance estimates are commonly used for analyses of population trends and possible shifts in growth rate. We investigate if trends in age composition can be used as an alternative to abundance estimates for detection of decelerated population growth. Both methods were tested under two forms of density dependence and different levels of environmental variation in simulated time ...
متن کاملDensity-Dependence in Fluctuating Grey-sided Vole Populations
density-dependence by using partial correlation coefficients as a test statistic. The extended tests detected delayed density-dependence in 8 15 time series (8.9% 16.7%) at the 5% level (two-tailed test). 5. The high incidence of direct density-dependence and the low, but significant, incidence of delayed density-dependence in these vole populations are discussed. Delayed maturation at high den...
متن کاملRestoration of Eastern oyster populations with positive density dependence.
Positive density dependence (i.e. Allee effects) can create a threshold of population states below which extinction of the population occurs. The existence of this threshold, which can often be a complex, multi-dimensional surface, rather than a single point, is of particular importance in degraded populations for which there is a desire for successful restoration. Here, we incorporated positiv...
متن کاملSome criteria of regeneration density in young beech populations
Some criteria of density in beech saplings were studied in various forest associations (mainly Galio odorati-Fagetum typicum) growing in the submontane region near Zurich (Swiss Central Plateau). The sample plots were established in regeneration gaps resulting from Swiss irregular shelter wood system (Femelschlag). Five sample plots, each 2x2m in 3 transects (a total of 15 plots in each gap, x...
متن کاملNeighbour-regulated mortality: the influence of positive and negative density dependence on tree populations in species-rich tropical forests
Halton A. Peters* Department of Biological Sciences, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305, USA *Correspondence: E-mail: hpeters@globalecology. stanford.edu Abstract Density-dependent mortality has long been posited as a possible mechanism for the regulation of tropical forest tree density. Despite numerous experimental and phenomenological investigations, the extent to which such mechanisms ...
