Profound effects of population density on fitness-related traits in an invasive freshwater snail.

Profound effects of population density on fitness-related traits in an invasive freshwater snail.

Population density can profoundly influence fitness-related traits and population dynamics, and density dependence plays a key role in many prominent ecological and evolutionary hypotheses. Here, we evaluated how individual-level changes in population density affect growth rate and embryo production...
