Wildlife Population Growth Rates / edited by R.M. Sibly, J. Hone and T.H. Clutton-Brock. - Cambridge : The Royal Society in association with Cambridge University Press, 2003. - viii, 362 p. : ill. ; 24 cm.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
1. Population growth rate and its determinants: an overview 2. Demographic, mechanistic and density-dependent determinants of population growth rate: a case study in an avian predator 3. Estimating density dependence in time series of age-structured populations 4. Pattern of variation in avian population growth 5. Determinants of human population growth 6. Two complementary paradigms for analyzing population dynamics 7. Complex numerical responses to top-down and bottom-up processes in vertebrate populations 8. The numerical response: rate of increase and food limitation in herbivores and predators 9. Populations in variable environments: the effect of variability in a species' primary resource 10. Trophic interactions and population growth rates: describing patterns and identifying mechanisms 11. Behavioural models of population growth rates: implications for conservation and prediction 12. Comparative ungulate dynamics: the devil is in the detail 13. Population growth rate as a basis for ecological risk assessment of toxic chemicals 14. Population growth rates: issues and an application
This book takes a fresh approach to some of the classic questions in ecology. What determines where a species lives? And what determines its abundance? Topics covered include population regulation, density-dependence, the ecological niche, resource and interference competition, habitat fragmentation and the ecological effects of environmental stress.
