Time series analysis has been used to evaluate the mechanisms regulating population dynamics of mammals and insects, but has
been rarely applied to amphibian populations. In this study, the influence of endogenous (density-dependent) and exogenous
(density-independent) factors regulating population dynamics of the terrestrial plethodontid salamander Speleomantes strinatii was analysed by means of time series and multiple regression analyses. During the period 1993–2005, S. strinatii population abundance, estimated by a standardised temporary removal method, displayed relatively low fluctuations, and the
autocorrelation function (ACF) analysis showed that the time series had a noncyclic structure. The partial rate correlation
function (PRCF) indicated that a strong first-order negative feedback dominated the endogenous dynamics. Stepwise multiple
regression analysis showed that the only climatic factor influencing population growth rate was the minimum winter temperature.
Thus, at least during the study period, endogenous, density-dependent negative feedback was the main factor affecting the
growth rate of the salamander population, whereas stochastic environmental variables, such as temperature and rainfall, seemed
to play a minor role in regulation. These results stress the importance of considering both exogenous and endogenous factors
when analysing amphibian long-term population dynamics. 相似文献
