Mortality in relation to initial density.

Abstract

<p>Range of log densities per m² at the beginning of a time interval, and total mortality (mean log<i>D_t</i> - mean log<i>D_t</i>₊₁) during the time interval. Solid line: <i>Macoma balthica</i> (bold: density dependence detected). Broken line: <i>Cerastoderma edule</i>.</p
