Natural regulation of population size in large mammals by means of two new delayed density-dependent fertility mechanisms

2024-10-18

Abstract excerpt

It is generally assumed that population size of all wild animal species are regulated through density-dependent mechanisms, but the mechanisms responsible have been difficult to identify for elephants and large whales. We have used information on physiological reproductive mechanisms in humans in a stochastic computer simulation study to explore how known density-dependent fertility mechanisms in humans could regu...
