Weak evidence of density dependent population regulation when using the ability of two simple density dependent models to predict population size

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 ...

Meat dependence reduced population density of hunter-gatherer groups

A new study by the ICTA-UAB establishes that the population density of hunter-gatherer groups was reduced where they depended heavily on meat to survive. Hunter-gatherer populations with a strong ...
