Abstract
The ‘hydra effect’ was originally defined by Abrams and Matsuda [1] as an increase in mean population size in response to greater mortality. Recently, Schroder, van Leeuwen, and Cameron (SVC) [2] argued that such increases might be common, but that they are predominantly a phenomenon [‘stage specific overcompensation’ (SSO)] in which only a subset of the population increases. SVC assert that SSO, as well as other phenomena involving population increases in response to mortality, are not hydra effects.
