The interaction between the spatial distribution of resource patches and population density: consequences for intraspecific growth and morphology.

The Journal of animal ecology - 1 Jul 2015

Jacobson Bailey, Grant James W A, Peres-Neto Pedro R

Abstract excerpt

How individuals within a population distribute themselves across resource patches of varying quality has been an important focus of ecological theory. The ideal free distribution predicts equal fitness amongst individuals in a 1 : 1 ratio with resources, whereas resource defence theory predicts d...
