Abstract

The modern basic theoretical principles of population regulation in mammals are reviewed in this paper. Consistent with the most fruitful systemic approach, a population, as the object of study, can be understood by both investigating the dynamics of the parts of the system (individual organisms) and by examining the context of population system in more inclusive community and landscape systems whose part it is.
