DOI: 10.1002/1438-390x.12216
Abstract: We examine four historical population data sets, each spanning 28–46 years in length, from three locations in eastern Canada, showing that spruce budworm through the period 1930–1997 has exhibited eruptive (i.e., nonlinear) growth dynamics. According to… read more here.

Limited contributions of plant pathogens to density‐dependent seedling mortality of mast fruiting Bornean trees

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.6906
Abstract: Abstract Fungal pathogens are implicated in driving tropical plant diversity by facilitating strong, negative density‐dependent mortality of conspecific seedlings (C‐NDD). Assessment of the role of fungal pathogens in mediating coexistence derives from relatively few tree… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.70689
Abstract: ABSTRACT While studies often focus on density‐dependent responses of ungulate populations to resource limitations at large spatial scales, the dynamics at smaller scales remain relatively unexplored. To address this gap, we investigated the temporal dynamics… read more here.

Insights From Observations and Large‐Scale Field Experiments on Vole Population Cycles in Northern Europe: A 40‐Year Study of Predator–Prey Interactions

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.71419
Abstract: ABSTRACT The mechanisms driving 3–5‐year population cycles of voles involve delayed density‐dependent feedback on vole populations. The key drivers of this feedback include prolonged periods of food depletion or predation mortality over more than one… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.71491
Abstract: ABSTRACT The reproductive success of plants often depends on their local conspecific densities. The degree of isolation from conspecific plants can mediate an individual's interactions with other organisms. For example, a high density of flowers… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.4008
Abstract: Wild mammal populations exhibit a variety of dynamics, ranging from fairly stable with little change in population size over time to high amplitude cyclic or erratic fluctuations. A persistent question in population ecology is: why… read more here.

Density‐dependent modulation of copepod body size and temperature–size responses in a shelf sea

DOI: 10.1002/lno.11930
Abstract: Body size is a fundamental trait in ecology, and body size reduction with increasing temperature has been termed the third universal response to climate warming. Although effects of temperature and food on phenotypic plasticity of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00338-017-1629-y
Abstract: Coral settlement is a key process for the recovery and maintenance of coral reefs, yet interspecific variations in density-dependent settlement are unknown. Settlement of the submassive Goniastrea retiformis and corymbose Acropora digitifera and A. millepora… read more here.

Linking habitat to density-dependent population regulation: How spawning gravel availability affects abundance of juvenile salmonids (Salmo trutta and Salmo salar) in small streams

DOI: 10.1007/s10750-019-03997-1
Abstract: Rivers with abundant spawning gravel may produce more fry of anadromous brown trout (Salmo trutta) and Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar); however, spawning gravel does not provide suitable shelter to parr, suggesting an optimization problem for… read more here.

Abstract: Foraging behavior of root feeding organisms strongly affects plant-environment-interactions and ecosystem processes. However, the impact of plant chemistry on root herbivore movement in the soil is poorly understood. Here, we apply a simple technique to… read more here.
