Density-dependent regulation of brook trout population dynamics along a core-periphery distribution gradient in a central Appalachian watershed.
Spatial population models predict strong density-dependence and relatively stable population dynamics near the core of a species' distribution with increasing variance and importance of density-independent processes operating towards the population periphery. Using a 10-year data set and an inf...
