Dynamics and reproduction of small rodents in Germany

Analyses of time series of population dynamics and reproduction of small rodent species in Germany show that 1) first order effects prevail and higher order effects occur, 2) that within and across species abundance can fluctuate synchronously and 3) that part of the density dependence may be explai...

Description
Summary:Analyses of time series of population dynamics and reproduction of small rodent species in Germany show that 1) first order effects prevail and higher order effects occur, 2) that within and across species abundance can fluctuate synchronously and 3) that part of the density dependence may be explained by intra-specific mechanisms related to reproduction.
