Abstract

Sublinear density dependence has been reported in numerous empirical studies, and yet it is seemingly incompatible with most resource-explicit models of competition. Reconciling this disconnect will likely necessitate substantive revision of the assumptions of mechanistic models and/or empirical methods, but it also presents rich opportunities for original research with wide-ranging implications.
