In recent years, more and more researchers have become aware of the problem of microsatellite data quality and its consequence for population analyses [ 20, 41, 42].
"If something has a consequence for the individual [evolutionary], does this have population [ecological] consequences too?" she asks.
The potential negative effects of forest fragmentation on animal movement and dispersal, and its consequences for population persistence, require an understanding of how modified landscapes affect movement decisions of forest species.
The survival of parthenogenetic females, even at low densities, may have profound consequences for population structure, as such females have a short-term advantage at the beginning of the growing season compared to dormant eggs [ 5].
A range of GHG emission scenarios have been developed in the IPCC Special Report on Emissions Scenarios that reflect a number of different ways in which the world might develop and the consequences for population, economic growth, energy use and technology (Nakicenovic et al., [2000]).
Dispersal traits (i.e., reproductive strategy and propagule size) reflect a trade-off between dispersal ability and establishment success, and they have important consequences for population genetic structure (Hartl and Clark, 1997).
As a corollary to the issue of external validity, excessively constrained sampling approaches can have consequences for population health.
How individuals respond to edges can dictate whether they are permeable to dispersal or act as barriers, with consequences for population connectivity.
We investigate the consequences for population inferences using these methods when the normality assumption is inappropriate and/or the model is misspecified.
We also show that crossing these regimes has important consequences for population dynamics and stability, which depend on the parameters controlling predator-prey interactions.
The presence of organochlorine pesticides in the cocoa beans samples analysed is a major concern due to the human health risks such as reproductive impairment and suppression of the immune system which can have long-term consequences for population viability.
