Descrizione
"Death Squared: The Explosive Growth and Demise of a Mouse Population" by John B. Calhoun, MD, is a seminal scientific paper that explores the impact of overpopulation on a controlled...
mostra di piùThe paper reveals that as the mouse population grew exponentially, social behaviors and structures started to break down. Aggressive behaviors, social withdrawal, and ultimately, a population collapse occurred. This study has important implications for understanding the effects of overpopulation and resource abundance on the behavior and well-being of a species, including potential parallels with human society.
Calhoun's research provides a cautionary tale about the potential consequences of unchecked population growth and the importance of social and environmental factors in shaping the destiny of a population. "Death Squared" remains a thought-provoking and influential study in the field of behavioral ecology, offering valuable insights into the dynamics of population growth and its consequences.
