Population variability in space and time

Lundberg, Per LU ; Ranta, E ; Ripa, Jörgen LU orcid and Kaitala, V (2000) In Trends in Ecology & Evolution 15(11). p.460-464
Abstract
One of the most ubiquitous phenomena of all natural populations is their variability in numbers in space and time. However, there are notable differences among populations in the way the population size fluctuates. One of the major challenges in population and community ecology is to explain and understand this variety and to find possible underlying rules that might be modified from case-to-case. Population variability also has a spatial component because fluctuations are often synchronized over relatively large distances. Recently, this has led to growing interest in how 'internal' (density-dependent) processes interact with 'external' factors such as environmental variability.
