Density-Dependent Demographic Variation Determines Extinction Rate of Experimental Populations
Understanding population extinctions is a chief goal of ecological theory. While stochastic theories of population growth are commonly used to forecast extinction, models used for prediction have not been adequately tested with experimental data. In a previously published experiment, variation in available food was experimentally manipulated in 281 laboratory populations of Daphnia magna to tes...

We reason that natural selection acting under conditions imposed by physical factors (e.g., geometric constraints on growth rate) and community organization (e.g., persistent finite population sizes, equal total biomass of organisms in proportionately equal si...
متن کاملNon-independence of demographic parameters: positive density-dependent fecundity in eagles
1. Using information on the Doñana population of Spanish imperial eagles Aquila adalberti from 1959 to 2004, we present strong empirical support to theoretical models on the regulation of population trajectories by the relationships between breeder mortality and floater availability. 2. During the study period, the eagle population showed three distinct phases: (i) a population increase with ne...
متن کاملDensity dependent selection in parthenogenetic and self-mating populations.
The consequences of density dependent selection on genetically heterogeneous, diploid populations reproducing by self-mating or various parthenogenetic mechanisms is investigated. A logistic fitness function that depends upon both the genotype of an individual and the density of the population is used. Such a fitness function simultaneously determines the population size and the genotype freque...
متن کاملInvasions with density-dependent ecological parameters.
The speed and the minimum carrying capacity needed for a successful population expansion into new territory are addressed using a reaction-diffusion model. The model is able to encapsulate a rich collection of ecological behaviours, including the Allee effect, resource depletion due to consumption, dispersal adaptation due to population pressure, biological control agents, and a range of breedi...
