Population Dynamics of Metastable Growth-Rate Phenotypes
Neo-Darwinian evolution has presented a paradigm for population dynamics built on random mutations and selection with a clear separation of time-scales between single-cell mutation rates and the rate of reproduction. Laboratory experiments on evolving populations until now have concentrated on the fixation of beneficial mutations. Following the Darwinian paradigm, these experiments probed popul...
متن کاملHuman population growth as proximate cause of wetland dynamics
The study examined the influence of population as proximate cause of wetland dynamics in the lower Ogun river basin of southwestern, Nigeria. Both primary and secondary data were used for the study. The primary data included 100 questionnaires administered and distributed among the fadama users group representing 10% of the estimated population of the group. Satellite images of years 1972, 1984...
متن کاملDynamics of Fisheries that Affect the Population Growth Rate Coefficient
Conventional surplus production models indicate that destruction of fish populations by overfishing is difficult, if not impossible, but catastrophic declines in abundance of exploited populations are common. Surplus production models also do not predict large continuing fluctuations in yield, but large fluctuations in yield are common. Conventional surplus production models assume that fisheri...
متن کاملPopulation Dynamics: Momentum of Population Growth
This article summarizes the recent literature on population momentum, usually defined as the subsequent population growth or decline after replacement conditions have been achieved. We review total momentum, its constituent parts (nonstable and stable momentum), trends over time, and how momentum is affected by immigration and emigration. Numerical examples are provided. The unifying concept is...
متن کاملEco-evolutionary dynamics: fluctuations in population growth rate reduce effective population size in chinook salmon.
We empirically assess the relationship between population growth rate (lambda, a parameter central to ecology) and effective population size (N(e), a key parameter in evolutionary biology). Recent theoretical and numerical studies indicate that in semelparous species with variable age at maturity (such as Pacific salmon, many monocarpic plants, and various other species), differences in mean re...
