A predictive model and a field study on heterogeneous slug distribution in arable fields arising from density dependent movement
Abstract Factors and processes determining heterogeneous (‘patchy’) population distributions in natural environments have long been a major focus in ecology. Existing theoretical approaches proved to be successful in explaining vegetation patterns. In the case of animal populations, existing theorie...
