Abstract
The population of Scoloplos armiger O. F. Müller at Whitstable was investigated from January 1964 to April 1965. Initially the population density was high, being over 600/m2, but the numbers sharply declined during the summer of 1964 and by the following winter the density had dropped to under 100/m.2 In addition to this decline, the population structure changed, and the overall effect was a marked reduction in the fecundity of the population. The cause of the high mortality in the summer of 1964 is unknown.This publication has 22 references indexed in Scilit:
