Summary
Blowfly populations (Lucilia sericata) were exposed to cadmium to study the interactions between effects of cadmium and density dependence on demographic rates. Individual-level effects (density-independent) of cadmium were reduced survival and reproduction. Nevertheless there were positive effects of cadmium on population-level (density-dependent) survival, because larval competition was reduced.
