Individual variation and population dynamics: lessons from a simple system.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences - 19 Jan 2012

Benton T G

Abstract excerpt

The mapping of environment, through variation in individuals' life histories, to dynamics can be complex and often poorly known. Consequently, it is not clear how important it is dynamically. To explore this, I incorporated lessons from an empirical system, a soil mite, into an individual-based model. Individuals compete for resource and allocate this according to eight 'genetic' rules that specify investment in...
