Journal ArticleDOI
The commonness and rarity of species
TL;DR: The purpose of this paper is to deduce, from a number of examples and from theoretical considerations, some plausible general law as to how abundance or commonness is distributed among species.

Population Cycles in Small Mammals
Charles J. Krebs,Judith H. Myers +1 more
TL;DR: This chapter summarizes the current information on population cycles in small rodents, and first looks at the general questions about cycles, and then discusses the demographic machinery which drives the changes in numbers.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Reproductive Ecology of the House Mouse
TL;DR: The reproductive biology of the house mouse seems uniquely suited to support ecological opportunism, and the relatively few environmental inhibitors of reproduction in this species should enhance the ability of dispersing young to colonize an exceptionally wide variety of habitats and climates.
Journal ArticleDOI
The density-dependence of spatial behaviour and the rarity of randomness
TL;DR: Spatial disposition is thus density-dependent and it is deduced that spatial behaviour is also density- dependent as required by Taylor & Taylor's A-model for intrinsic population control by movement.
