Effective population size/adult population size ratios in wildlife: a review.
The effective population size is required to predict the rate of inbreeding and loss of genetic variation in wildlife. Since only census population size is normally available, it is critical to know the ratio of effective to actual population size (NJN). Published estimates of NJN (192 from 102 species) were analysed to identify major variables affecting the ratio, and to obtain a comprehensive...
متن کاملRelationship of Genetic Variation to Population Size in Wildlife
Genetic diversity is one of three levels o f biological diversity requiring conservation. Genetic theory predicts that levels o f genetic variation should increase with effective population size. Sould (19 76) compiled the first convincing evidence that levels o f genetic variation in wildlife were related to population size, but this issue remains controversial. The hypothesis that genetic var...
متن کاملPopulation pharmacokinetics of omeprazole in a random Iranian population
Background: Omeprazole is metabolized predominantly by CYP2C19, a polymorphically expressed enzymes that show marked interindividual and interethnic variation. These variations cause a substantial differences that have been reported in the pharmacokinetics of omeprazole. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetic parameters of omeprazole in a random Iranian population. Met...
متن کاملWildlife Tunnel Enhances Population Viability
Roads and traffic are pervasive components of landscapes throughout the world: they cause wildlife mortality, disrupt animal movements, and increase the risk of extinction. Expensive engineering solutions, such as overpasses and tunnels, are increasingly being adopted to mitigate these effects. Although some species readily use such structures, their success in preventing population extinction ...
متن کاملPopulation, Sex Ratios and Development in Greenland
During the 20th century, Greenland society experienced a dramatic transformation from scattered settlements based on hunting, with mostly turf dwellings, to an urbanizing post-industrial economy. this transformation compressed socioeconomic development that took centuries to millennia elsewhere into a few generations. the incomplete demographic transition that accompanied this development broad...
