4. 2. Population processes in heterogeneous landscapes

   Author : Lars Westerberg; William Fagan; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Population processes in heterogeneous landscapes are notoriously difficult to study, both empirically and theoretically. There are well-documented effects of scale (both total size and resolution of the system), density dependence, temporal and spatial variation, as well as effects of habitat-shape, -boundary and -edge.

   Abstract : Both results of laboratory experiments and material collected in the field have shown the lipid composition in organisms to have a significant effect on the bioaccumulation of pollutants and on the lipid steady-state concentrations of pollutants there. The redistribution of persistent organic pollutants which occurs in organisms as a consequence of the depletion of lipid depot, was studied in a population of migrating Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka).
