Knowing how wildlife populations change is decisive for improving the management and conservation of biodiversity. The ...

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

It offers one of the first clear experimental confirmations that rising temperatures alter the forces that control population dynamics in nature. "Our research provides an essential missing piece in ...

Additional factors, such as parasites and disease can further influence population dynamics. Some of the most notable examples of population changes occur in species that experience large ...

The course is divided into three units. The first unit covers the premodern era, assessing the role of epidemics, famine, marriage patterns and fertility control on population dynamics. The second ...
