Question: Is a rare or low-density species important for the balance of an ecosystem?
Features of the model: Perturbation experiments on a model lattice with two common species and one low-density species.
Key variables: The low-density species is...
Ecosystem dynamics can be studied using model populations. Perturbation experiments have often been applied to simulated populations in order to study the uncertainty in ecosystem dynamics. Most of these studies have predicted a stationary state. ...
Habitat destruction is one of the primary causes of species extinction in recent history. Even if the destruction is restricted to a local area, its accumulation increases the risk of extinction. To investigate the effect of local habitat destruct...
