Mammal Population Dynamics
Mammal population dynamics is the study of the factors that cause fluctuations in mammal populations over time. These fluctuations, often called population cycles, can have a major impact on food webs and ecosystems. The primary causes are often environmental and include changes in food supply, climate, and predator-prey relationships. By understanding the dynamics of mammal populations, conservation biologists can work to protect endangered species and promote sustainable management of wildlife resources. Additionally, understanding mammal population dynamics can help inform wildlife management decisions and help to reduce population losses due to human disturbance.
