Growth limitation of organisms due to insufficient availability of essential nutrients like nitrogen or phosphorus

The spatial arrangement and connectivity of subpopulations across a landscape that influences local population dynamics

Theory that animals distribute themselves among habitat patches in proportion to resource availability, with high-quality patches becoming occupied first and animals moving to lower-quality patches as...

Some environments will be resource rich and produce a high amount of offspring (sources) while other environments will be resource low and produce a low amount of offspring (sinks)

The hypothesis that disposing of excess dietary nutrients imposes a growth cost on organisms, creating hump-shaped relationships with diet stoichiometry
