Components of Density-Dependent Population Dynamics: Models and Tests with Drosophila

Creative Commons 'BY' version 4.0 license
Abstract

Tested a model of density-dependent population dynamics in food-limited environments. Parameters of the model were estimated using standard regression techniques and observations on viability and female size in 8 populations of Drosophila melanogaster. Results point to additional phenomena, such as tolerance to waste products, which may be important in the density-dependent population dynamics of Drosophila. -from Authors
