However, the country is still constrained by rapid population growth rate estimated at 2.8 per cent, limited institutional implementation capacity, and a narrow resource base.
Samoa has a small open economy, dependent on a narrow resource base centred on agriculture and fishing, and also on tourism, aid and remittances.
Due to their narrow resource base and small domestic markets, many of these countries have relatively undiversified production and export bases, so capacity in the private sector is limited.
It is not surprising that speciation only occurs if the conditions for ecotype branching (broad resource distribution, narrow resource utilisation curve) and for mating strategy branching (small costs of choosiness, sufficient influx of preference mutations) are both satisfied.
QUESTION FROM DAMIANO: Aren't also nuclear "reactants", uranium and other unstable atoms, a finite resource, and even much a narrower natural resource than oil and coal?
Colonisation of a new plant taxon signifies the broadening of a species host range, and specialisation on traits of the host show a narrowing of resource use.
However, in the presence of a mismatch between the funding framework and the priority setting framework, the HsW model would have more in common with the second situation – informing debate by identifying the cost of retaining budgetary silos and a narrow focus on resource shifts within a program budget.
Policy support for a wider range of livelihood options will also help overcome the reliance on a narrow range of resources and thereby mitigate over-exploitation of those resources.
However, this arrangement denies LGAs the administrative power and authority transferred to them under D by D systems, leaving LGAs with a narrow choice over human resource management functions.
While a dense alternative resource with a wide temporal distribution can make a mutualism more robust to climate change, a dense alternative resource with a narrow temporal distribution can make a mutualism less robust (Figs 3C,F and 4: lower right in each panel).
Transitions to specialisation on a novel host-plant resource are only meaningful for a finite period because a shift to a narrower set of resources can be transient or bidirectional [ 3, 8, 22].
