This study highlights the importance of complementation and spillover processes in the functioning of populations living in agricultural shifting mosaics.
Simple models of terrestrial ecosystems with a limited number of components are an efficient tool to study the main laws of functioning of populations, including microbial ones, and their communities, as components of natural ecosystems, under variable environmental conditions.
Our demographic approach aims at disentangling the interplay of variation in environmental conditions, demographic patterns and genetic composition of Arabidopsis thaliana populations to provide insights into the differential functioning of populations across the species' native environmental range.
From the local to the global scale, human actions have influenced – and in many cases, disrupted – the structure and functioning of populations, communities, and ecosystems.
The WHO family of international classifications provides a valuable tool to describe and compare the health and functioning of populations, internationally as well as nationally, permitting comparisons of data within and between populations.
That is a simple function of population growth among younger communities, of whatever ethnic origin.
But sceptics point out that these claims, though true, are entirely a function of population growth.
The number of Congressional districts is a function of population, unlike State Senate and House seats, whose number is mandated in the Illinois Constitution.
Empirical formulas allow the calculation of skyglow levels as a function of population and distance from the observer.
That is, the fitness of the best function of population the fitness of the best function of population, and this condition occurs after, say, unimproved populations.
In fact, some other socio-economic data available on this detailed level have been generate as function of population [42].
