The task for ecologists is to untangle the environmental and biological factors that hold this intrinsic capacit

2、y for population growth in check over the long run. The great variety of dynamic behaviors exhibited by different population makes this task more difficult： some populations remain roughly constant from year to year; others exhibit regular cycles of abundance and scarcity; still others vary wildly，

4、parameters; that rates of and migration which depend strongly on population density. The highly varying populations have density-independent growth vital rates buffeted by environmental events; these rates fluctuate in a way that is wholly independent of populationdensity.This dichotomy has its uses

5、， but it can cause problems if taken tooliterally. For onething， nopopulation canbedriven entirely by density-independent factors all the time. No matter how severely orunpredictably birth， and migration rates may be fluctuating around their long-term averages ， if there were no density-dependent th

7、y. The factors making up the one percent mayseemunimportant， and their causemaybecorrespondinglyhardtodetermine.Yet， whether recognized or not ， they will usually determine the long-term average populationdensity.In order to understand the nature of the ecologists investigation， we may think of the

8、density-dependent effects on growth parameters as the signal ecologists are trying to isolate and interpret ， one that tends to make the population increase from relatively low values or decrease from relatively high ones， while the density-independent effects act to produce noise in the population

9、dynamics. For populations that remain relatively or that oscillate around repeated the signal can be fairly easily characterized and its effects even though the causative biological mechanism may remain unknown. For irregularly fluctuating populations， we are likely to have too few observations to h
