Weak evidence of density dependent population regulation when using the ability of two simple density dependent models to predict population size
Abstract The relative importance of density dependence regulation in natural population fluctuations has long been debated. The concept of density dependence implies that current abundance is determined by historical abundance. We have developed four models—two density dependent and two density inde...
