Sentence examples for behaviour population from inspiring English sources

For many species, also the spatial behaviour (such as dispersal or home range behaviour), population dynamics and habitat preference will be crucial.

Indeed, because small and large vertebrate predators have unique attributes (resource preference, home range, behaviour, population dynamics and community structure) effects predicted by the Janzen-Connell hypothesis may depend on the size of vertebrate predators and on their potential contributions to seed mortality [25].

Hazards were defined as risk and protective factors (including behaviour, population vulnerability, agent characteristics, and exposures) that may affect health through specific, direct causal mechanisms.

By identifying a range of theories we can assess which theories may be of value given the behaviour, population and context in question.

Nevertheless, our study shows that environmental conditions, food availability and population level changes in physiology may largely determine the parameter space in which an entire population behaves, i.e. the phenotypic plasticity of behaviour population wide [ 50].

Second generation surveillance for injecting drug users should be further enhanced by surveys assessing knowledge and attitudes about risk behaviour, population size estimates for hidden populations, and hepatitis C surveillance [ 33].

Understanding the various costs associated with fat storage is therefore fundamental to multiple aspects of avian behaviour and physiology, including energy storage strategies, migratory and seasonal behaviour, population-size regulation and parent offspring relations.

To draw conclusions that generalise to all behaviour-population combinations, a meta-analysis should include only studies that manipulate both threat and efficacy.

If this interaction-theory is correct, the conclusions of these meta-analyses exclusively hold for behaviour-population combinations where efficacy is already high (and perceived threat low).

Therefore, it is possible to construct a diagram plotting threat against efficacy, for these behaviour-population combinations (see right-most plot in Figure 1).

Threatening communication only works when either the baseline efficacy is high in the relevant behaviour-population combination, or when the intervention also includes a potent efficacy-enhancing element.
