Density dependence drives habitat production and survivorship of Acropora cervicornis used for restoration on a Caribbean coral reef

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2016
Coral restoration is gaining traction as a viable strategy to help restore degraded reefs. While the nascent field of coral restoration has rapidly progressed in the past decade, significant knowledge gaps remain regarding the drivers of restoration ...

Shifts in amphibian population dynamics in response to a change in the predator community

Ecosphere, 2021
Predation can affect prey behavior, demography, abundance, and distribution, particularly in lentic freshwater ecosystems. Fish are predators known to reduce the abundance of their prey and to restrict the distribution of species. Using time series which

Detecting Resource Limitation in a Large Herbivore Population Is Enhanced With Measures of Nutritional Condition

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Resource limitation at the population level is a function of forage quality and its abundance relative to its per capita availability, which in turn, determines nutritional condition of individuals.

Direct evidence that density-dependent regulation underpins the temporal stability of abundant species in a diverse animal community [PDF]

, 2014
The authors thank the ERC (project no. BioTIME 250189) and the Royal Society for funding.To understand how ecosystems are structured and stabilized, and to identify when communities are at risk of damage or collapse, we need to know how the abundances of

Interactions between species attributes explain population dynamics in stream fishes under changing climate

Ecosphere, 2018
Species responses to climate change have been shown to vary in both direction and magnitude. Understanding these idiosyncratic responses is crucial if we are to predict extinction risk and set up efficient conservation strategies. The variations observed

A Comprehensive Study of Orchid Seed Production Relative to Pollination Traits, Plant Density and Climate in an Urban Reserve in Western Australia

Diversity, 2019
The pollination of 20 common terrestrial orchids was studied in a 60-ha urban banksia and eucalypt dominated woodland in Western Australia. Five years of data (24,000 flowers, 6800 plants) measured fruit set relative to floral areas, capsule volumes ...

Direct and Indirect Effects of Planting Density, Nitrogenous Fertilizer and Host Plant Resistance on Rice Herbivores and Their Natural Enemies

Agriculture, 2022
In rice ecosystems, seeding densities can be adjusted to compensate for lower nitrogen levels that reduce GHG emissions, or to increase farm profitability.

Impact of Radiation Therapy on Physical and Psychosocial Health of Adolescents and Young Adults: A Joint Report From the Children's Oncology Group AYA and Radiation Oncology Committees

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rates of cancer among adolescents and young adults (AYA), age 15–39 years, are increasing. Consequently, radiation oncologists are treating more AYAs who have diagnoses spanning both pediatric and adult practices. Compared to pediatric and older adult patients, AYAs face a unique set of challenges.

Patterns of density dependence in moths and aphids

, 1992
1. The incidence of density dependence was examined in 5715 time-series of annual abundances of 447 species of moths and aphids in the UK using three techniques (Ricker equation, Bulmer's test and Pollard et al.'s test). 2.
