Boreal rodents fluctuating in space and time: Tying the observation process to the modeling of seasonal population dynamics
Nicolau, Pedro Guilherme (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2022-06-03)Small rodents are some of the most important elements of boreal/arctic food webs, where they play essential functional roles. Their population dynamics are characterized by large amplitude multi-annual cycles regulated by direct and delayed density-dependence. These drastic variations in abundance have deep cascading effects into the whole ecosystem. Hence, the study boreal rodent population processes ...
