Pearl, R.

...Then, Belgian mathematician PF Verhulst (1804-49) showed that population growth follows an S-shaped (sigmoid) curve, formulated it, and in 1845 named it the logistic curve. Separately, R. Pearl (1879-1940), who discovered the logistic equation while studying population growth rates in the United States, attempted to verify it in experimental populations, and in 1922, together with SL Parker (1895-?), demonstrated that as population density increased, Drosophila melanogaster caused a decrease in egg production and an increase in mortality, and that as a result, population growth follows a logistic curve. This was essentially the first experimental proof of the density effect. ...
