Ecology: Concepts and Applications 4th Edition by Manual Molles

تمرين 9

S. Holling (1959) observed predator numerical responses to changes in prey density. He attributed the numerical responses to changes in the reproductive rates of the predators. Discuss a hypothetical example of reproductive-rate numerical response by a population of predators in terms of changes in fecundity schedules and life tables. Include the terms R 0 , T , and r in your discussion.
