Temperature Modulates the Strength of Density-dependent Habitat Selection in Ectotherms: Expanding and Testing Theory with Red Flour Beetles and Common Gartersnakes
Density dependence is a common phenomenon in nature, and the intensity of density dependence is driven by competition over depletable resources. Habitat selection patterns are often density-dependent, and are driven by decreasing population mean fitness in a habitat as population density increases i...
