Implicações do fenômeno de agregação espacial para a dinâmica de populações em insetos: I. Competição por recursos alimentares e espaço

RESUMO

The present article review, some important aspects related to the widely observed phenomenon of spatial aggregation of organisms, and also their implications for the population dynamics of the involved species. Aspects related to intra and interspecific competition and possibility of coexistence in animals, mainly insects, are discussed.
