A perspective of temporal and spatial variability in mammalian population system
哺乳动物种群系统时空变异性透视

In this paper, we briefly review the progress in the way of temporal and spatial variability in mammalian population system, and Moran's theorem and Moran's effect to the synchronization of population fluctuations. One of the most universal phenomena of all natural populations is their variability in numbers in space and time. However, there are distinguishable differences among populations in the way the population size fluctuates. One of the major challenges in population and community ecology is to explain and understand this variety and to find possible rules that might be modified from case-to-case. Population variability also has a spatial component because fluctuations are synchronized over relatively large distances. Recently, this has led to growing interest in how internal processes such as density-dependent interact with external factors such as environmental variability.
