Effects of Population Density on Growth Rates of Animal Populations
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
The primary conclusion is that in most animal species a population's growth rate is a decreasing function of density, which explains the relative stability of animal populations, which never continue to increase at rates their fertility would allow, and rarely decrease to extinction.
