Beyond population regulation and limitation
The study of population dynamics addresses three questions that are not always separated in discussions with empirical data. Two questions address population regulation. What stabilises population density is the first question, and, in spite of much theory, little progress has been made in answering this question empirically. The assumption of an equilibrium density is impossible to test and di...
متن کاملDaphnia Population Dynamics in Western Lake Erie: Regulation by Food Limitation and Yellow Perch Predation
Two Daphnia species exhibited similar dynamic patterns in western Lake Erie. Populations peaked in early summer, declined to minimum abundance in mid-July, and then disappeared after August. To determine relative importance of food limitation and young-of-year (YOY) fish predation in regulating Daphnia dynamics, we examined relationships (I) between edible phytoplankton abundances and Daphnia f...
متن کاملAsthma, airflow limitation and mortality risk in the general population.
Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease co-exist in a significant proportion of patients. Whether asthma increases mortality risk among subjects with airflow limitation remains controversial. We used data from 2121 adult participants in the population-based Tucson Epidemiological Study of Airway Obstructive Disease cohort. At enrolment (1972-1973), participants completed questionnaires...
متن کاملPopulation and Regulation *
We present a model of efficient regulation along the lines of Demsetz (1967). In this model, setting up and running regulatory institutions takes a fixed cost, and therefore jurisdictions with larger populations affected by a given regulation are more likely to have them. Consistent with the model, we find that higher population U.S. states have more pages of legislation and adopt particular la...
متن کاملDocking Interactions: Cell-Cycle Regulation and Beyond
In budding yeast, the mating pathway activates Far1 to inhibit G1 cyclins in complex with the cyclin-dependent kinase (Cln-Cdk). Yet, the molecular mechanism has remained largely unclear for over 20 years. A recent report helps shed light on this regulation.
