Zusammenfassung

In den vorigen Kapiteln lag unser Augenmerk häufig auf Populationen einer einzigen Art. Weil wir uns klarmachen wollten, was die Abundanz und Verbreitung einer Art bestimmt, haben wir mehr oder weniger unabhängig voneinander betrachtet, welche Rolle dabei Umweltbedingungen und Ressourcen, Wanderungen, intra- und interspezifische Konkurrenz, mutualistische Beziehungen sowie Prädation und Parasitismus spielen.
