The study, published in Ecology and led by Volker Rudolf, revealed that rising temperatures exacerbate competition within populations, ultimately leading to population crashes at higher temperatures.

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

Both mechanisms limit competition and genetic excess, but act through separate pathways. Pheromones are used by hermaphroditic roundworm species to cull explosions in male populations. Mating-induced ...

Patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) are at high risk of death resulting from noncancer causes and second malignancies (ie, competing mortality). Variation in competing mortality risk complicates ...

The Chesapeake Bay’s bald eagle population has seen an unexpected spike in growth over the past few decades, going from nearly endangered, with just 60 breeding pairs, to about 3,000 breeding pairs.
