Patch-size and isolation effects in the Fisher-Kolmogorov equation
(Springer, 2008-10-01)
We examine the classical problem of the existence of a threshold size for a patch to allow for survival of a given population in the case where the patch is not completely isolated. The surrounding habitat matrix is ...
Variation in body size and metamorphic traits of Iberian spadefoot toads over a short geographic distance
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2008-06)
Determinants of geographic variation in body size are often poorly understood, especially in organisms with complex life cycles. We examined patterns of adult body size and metamorphic traits variation in Iberian spadefoot ...
Disentangling demographic co-effects of predation and pollution on population dynamics
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2019)
© 2018 The Authors In nature species react to a variety of endogenous and exogenous ecological factors. Understanding the mechanisms by which these factors interact and drive population dynamics is a need for understanding ...
Phenotypic plasticity in clutch size regulation among populations of a potential invasive fruit fly from environments that vary in host heterogeneity and isolation
(Cambridge University Press, 2018-05)
Phenotypic plasticity is thought to evolve in response to environmental unpredictability and can shield genotypes from selection. However, selection can also act on plastic traits. Egg-laying behaviour, including clutch ...
Finite size scaling in the local abundances of geographic populations
(Sociedad de Biología de Chile, 2011)
Pedigree analysis and inbreeding effects over morphological traits in Campolina horse population
(2018-02-22)
Genetic improvement, without control of inbreeding, can go to loss of genetic variability, reducing the potential for genetic gains in the domestic populations. The aim of this study was to analyze the population structure ...
Epidemics malaria dynamics in Eastern Africa highlands: the role of climate change and human population growth.
(2021)
During the last two decades, researchers have suggested that the increase of the malaria incidence rate in tea plantations in the Kericho district in Kenya was driven by climate change. Critics suggested that others variables ...

Evaluating genetic algorithms with different population structures on a lot sizing and scheduling problem
(2008-12-01)
This paper studies the use of different population structures in a Genetic Algorithm (GA) applied to lot sizing and scheduling problems. The population approaches are divided into two types: single-population and ...
