The region has been experiencing high growth of second home tourism development and exacerbated population growth, especially in the last three decades.
The number of male turnovers and infanticides increased in hunted populations, while birth rates decreased and exacerbated population losses due to hunting.
This suggests it may be necessary to identify alternative causal relationships by which fragmentation exacerbates population declines as a result of habitat loss (Fahrig and Merriam 1985), i.e., adults are unable to utilize non-connected breeding habitat.
Conservation biologists routinely face the dilemma of keeping small, fragmented populations isolated, wherein inbreeding depression may ensue, or mixing such populations, which may exacerbate population declines via outbreeding depression.
For example, recurrent heavy episodic drinking (HED) equivalent to ≥5 drinks (also known as binge or "risky" drinking) [ 9] is a drinking pattern that appears to exacerbate population ARH from alcohol consumption; this alcohol consumption pattern has been shown to be a problem not only in the US [ 10], but in other regions of the world such as the Nordic region [ 11] and the United Kingdom [ 12].
Returns to experience are critical in explaining the large urban wage gap in a Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition and indeed drive pull migration from the rural informal sector to the urban informal sector, exacerbating urban population congestion in already over-crowded main cities.
"So long as there are incentives to catch the largest, oldest, most fecund and fittest individuals within a population, recreational fishing pressure will continue to target these fish and likely exacerbate population declines".
Heatwaves are the climate impact most exacerbated by population changes, because they are particularly dangerous for people over 65 and the global population is ageing quickly.
As a result, any wide-spread use of sun-block and sun-avoidance will exacerbate any population deficiency of vitamin D synthesis and, presumably, will increase the likelihood of diseases related to vitamin D deficiency.
The effects of tourism could exacerbate the population declines that are widely reported amongst seabirds.
