The fitness-density covariance (also known as *growth-density covariance*) is a coexistence mechanism that can allow similar species to coexist because they are in different locations. This effect will be the strongest if species are completely segregated, but can also work if their populations overlap somewhat. If a fitness-density covariance is operating, then when a species becomes very rare, its population will shift to predominantly locations with favorable conditions (e.g., less competition or good habitat). Similarly, when a species becomes very common, then conditions will worsen where they are most common, and they will spread into areas where conditions are less favorable. This negative feedback can help species avoid being driven extinct by competition, and it can prevent strong

  • The fitness-density covariance (also known as *growth-density covariance*) is a coexistence mechanism that can allow similar species to coexist because they are in different locations. This effect will be the strongest if species are completely segregated, but can also work if their populations overlap somewhat. If a fitness-density covariance is operating, then when a species becomes very rare, its population will shift to predominantly locations with favorable conditions (e.g., less competition or good habitat). Similarly, when a species becomes very common, then conditions will worsen where they are most common, and they will spread into areas where conditions are less favorable. This negative feedback can help species avoid being driven extinct by competition, and it can prevent stronger species from becoming too common and crowding out other species. Along with storage effects and relative nonlinearities, fitness-density covariances make up the three variation-dependent mechanisms of modern coexistence theory. (en)
