Good Morning Ecologers,
I am a graduate student at Florida International University. I am currently working on testing for density dependence in a 20 year time series. I have completed my preliminary analysis which tests that excludes time lags. I am posting to this e-mail list to seek help in conducting my analysis with time lags. I am not fully understanding how to properly calculate the autocorrelation function and how to apply lags to the theta-logistc, Ricker, and stochastic Gompertz equations. I figure with the ESA meeting fast approaching that I could reach out to researchers who might be more familiar with this than myself. I will be at ESA in Ft. Lauderdale all week. Please contact me at jgatt...@fiu.edu <mailto:jgatt...@fiu.edu> if you are familiar with how to test for density dependence with time lags or the paper listed below. I will also have a sign on the message board at ESA with my contact information. Turchin, P. 1990. Rarity of density dependence or population regulation with lags? Nature 344:660-663. Thank you for your time! John Vincent Gatto Doctoral Candidate Department of Biological Sciences Florida International University jgatt...@fiu.edu <mailto:jgatt...@fiu.edu> |(225) 436-0029
