One of ecology’s oldest questions - how does population growth change as density increases? - remains surprisingly contentious. In our new @plosbiology.org paper we contribute to the ongoing debate by applying the idea of “Growth-Density Inversion”: doi.org/10.1371/jour.... 1/6

Sublinear #DensityDependence is widely reported empirically, but is at odds with theory. @jamesaorr.bsky.social &co use a tightly controlled test in a microbial model system to reveal superlinear density dependence, so aligning empirical evidence with theory @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4vwAmEZ
Top: Schematic of the empirical application of growth-density inversion, where the classic density dependence perspective (blue) is inverted (green) to overcome the challenges of manipulating densities. The authors first parametrised a consumer-resource model using batch culture growth assays (Approach 1) and performed growth-density inversion analytically (Box 1). Then, in a model-free empirical implementation of growth-density inversion, they experimentally manipulated harvest rate and quantified densities at equilibrium by varying the dilution rate in a chemostat system (Approach 2). Bottom left: Parametrised Monod growth function with 100 posterior draws representing uncertainty. The inset shows the analytical prediction for the density dependence of this parametrised consumer–resource model. Bottom right: Inverse-logistic model fitted to the experimental data with 95% credible intervals. Inset shows the same data and model with axes inverted to give the classic density dependence perspective.
