Where national borders once enclosed populations capable of practising collective sovereignty over their own resources, in the 21st century they look more and more like containers for an inventory of private assets, each waiting to be spliced, diced and traded around the world.
Both the frequencies (rare vs. common) and densities (low vs. high) of the RE tactics were manipulated in large enclosed populations, where their relative survival and breeding success were monitored over the breeding season.
This analysis shows the basic reproductive number to be slightly lower in the Maryland communities (between 1.34 and 3.21) than for the enclosed populations on the ships (R0 = 4.97, SE = 3.31).
The breeding density of territorial bank vole females seems to be lower in open populations (approx. 10 females/ha maximum) [ 24] compared to the artificially enclosed populations (e.g. over 20 females/ha) [ 25].
Point is, national borders represent, among other things, the borders enclosing populations that consent to be ruled by particular governments.
With regard to the association with socioeconomic status, studies that enclose populations of different social strata can better explain this issue.
We therefore conducted an experiment during the summers 2001 and 2002 using 12 enclosed experimental populations.
The debris was gated out, by drawing a region on the forward versus side-scatter dot plot enclosing the population of cells of interest.
The third (S) cluster, a tiny population enclosed within a small isolated protected area, likely originated from a more recent isolation and experienced genetic drift (F IS = 0.062, mean A r = 6.160, P a = 2).
The nationwide Dutch sentinel GP network, founded in 1970, included 42 45 GP practices in the Netherlands in the period of study and covered a population of about 125 000 patients (0.8% of the total Dutch population) enclosing geographical dispersion and variation in population density.
