Dear Listers, I am a PhD student at the University of Adelaide investigating density dependence in animal populations under the supervision of Corey Bradshaw, Barry Brook and Steven Delean. Currently, I am addressing the consistency of statistical detection of density feedback across species of mammals and birds where unique populations have been studied through annual censuses (> 10 years) of both population abundance and demographic rates (fertility and/or survival). So far I have collected data from 53 populations from publications or provided by authors I have contacted personally. If anyone has such data that I could include in a meta-analysis, I would greatly appreciate if you could contact me at salvador.herrando-perez@adelaide.edu.au. Any data you can provide will be fully acknowledged in any publication and in one of my PhD chapters, and will not be further distributed or analysed in any other way. If the data have been published, please provide the reference. I very much appreciate your time and consideration of my request. Kind regards, Salvador Variables being recorded from individual populations (annual estimates): Population size: total number, relative density, number of breeding/nonbreeding pairs AND breeding effort: fertility rate, clutch size, brood size, litter size, number of young/female AND/OR breeding/birth rates/success/performance/probability AND/OR survival/mortality/recruitment rates/probability (adults, subadults, juveniles, yearlings, calves/cubs/pups, fledglings, hatchlings) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------- Salvador Herrando-Pérez
