Populations grow at geometric or exponential rates in the presence of unlimited resources. Geometric populations grow through pulsed reproduction (e.g., the annual reproduction of deer, which have a ...

The 2010 Census results were recently released. The US population increased by 9.7% during the past decade. This is the smallest percentage increase in population since the 1920s. In Michigan the ...

Like predation and competition, recognition of mutualisms' functional responses and consumer-resource interactions provides new insights into their density-dependent population dynamics. Fluctuations ...

Increasing population density, rather than boosts in human brain power, appears to have catalyzed the emergence of modern human behavior, according to a new study. High population density leads to ...

Population density affects the dynamics of mate acquisition and the opportunity for sexual selection in natural populations of the seed bug, Neacoryphus bicrucis Say (Hemiptera:Lygaeidae). The ...

It’s difficult to get a handle on the population density around the world. Fortunately, this visualization makes it a little easier to get your head round. Put together by Derek Watkins, it’s actually ...

A total of 134 eastern cottontail rabbits (Sylvilagus floridanus) were used in three experiments to determine the effect of population density on reproductive and other selected characteristics.
