AbstractMany attempts have been made to confirm or reject the unimodal relationship between disturbance and diversity stated by the intermediate disturbance hypothesis (IDH). However, the reasons why the predictions of the IDH apply or fail in particular systems are not always obvious. Here, we use a spatially explicit, individual‐based community model that simulates...
Many territorial animals show marked home range dynamics. Depending on food resources and the presence of other individuals, the size, shape and location of home ranges can change even on short time scales. Home range dynamics are thus likely to be an important aspect of population regulation. Most existing models, however, assume static home ranges. We therefore present an individual-based model...
Most models of theoretical population ecology consider population density as a state variable and thus ignore the fact that populations are composed not of identical average individuals but of individuals which are usually different. However, this individual variability may be important for population regulation. We therefore analysed an individual-based population model which explicitly describes...
