The phrase "abrupt population" is not commonly used in written English and may be confusing without context.
It could be used in discussions about sudden changes in population size or demographics, but clarity is essential.
Example: "The abrupt population increase in the city has led to significant challenges in infrastructure and services."
Alternatives: "sudden population" or "rapid population".
First, high genetic diversity coincided with slightly more benign (cooler) pre-heatwave conditions, possibly protecting these kelp forests against change (Fig. S4c, "H", open circle), whereas low diversity forests experienced warmer initial conditions, predisposing them to an abrupt population crash following the heat wave (Fig. S4c, "K", open circle).
"You see these very abrupt population replacements, people moved into northern Europe from central Asia, replacing the existing populations - kinds of very abrupt migrations [that] fit very well with plague playing a major role," Prof Willerslev said.
Fujisaki et al. [ 24], for example, used change point analysis to detect abrupt population changes in bird populations and used the decline of counts of American Crows in Maryland and Virginia in the wake of WNV emergence as a case study.
Although less attention has been paid to decreases in host populations, lower rainfall is accompanied by decreasing populations of North American deer mice in the southwestern United States (Yates et al. 2002), whereas increasing rainfall during cold periods was associated with abrupt population declines in some ecosystems (Calisher et al. 2005).
The coherence then decays superradiantly, with a concomitant abrupt decrease in population from full inversion to zero.
Yes, change is coming to Washington — at least it in the real estate market, which is loosely segregated by both race and party, and thus subject to abrupt shifts in population every four or eight years.
Most haplogroups show abrupt increases in population sizes around the time of the introduction of pastoralism.
In the absence of any abrupt increase in population density, the most plausible explanation for the sudden rise in smallpox mortality at the youngest ages is an increase in infectiousness of the smallpox virus.
For instance, in the yellow-bellied marmot (Marmota flaviventris), an increase in size observed since 2000 was associated with increased survival and breeding success in the later years of the study, resulting in an abrupt increase in population size (Ozgul et al. 2010).
That fact makes it possible that if dramatic forces--including perhaps a wholesale abandonment of diets rich in fiber--wreak abrupt changes in populations of gut microbiota, the resulting changes "cannot be accommodated by our human biology".
In the treatment of abrupt environmental change, populations adapt towards a novel but fixed optimum (Gomulkiewicz and Holt 1995; Boulding and Hay 2001).
