First, in public health the object of concern is populations, not individuals.
That is, populations with a relatively small decline in density (or even an increase) harbored higher frequencies of resistant mutants.
That is, populations from the cooler, moister end of the climate gradient exhibited increased per cent seedling survival compared with populations from hotter and drier climates.
The objective of this systematic review was to capture the literature associating environmental exposures and childhood asthma symptoms (including exacerbations) in young children, that is, populations where the mean age was not more than 9 years.
The long-term aim of genetic translocations is populations that harbour the adaptive genetic diversity to enable ongoing adaptation to the environmental changes caused by climate change and other threats.
Chapter 2, by A. Rodrigo et al., is centered around the concept of measurably evolving populations, that is, populations for which sequence data is obtained over time and a significant accumulation of substitutions is found.
