Given the high larval densities of over 29000 specimens per square meter ([ 42]; see Table 1) observed in some habitats, interference competition must decisively influence the life cycle.
Cornell researchers have designed corridors to help animals move through their habitats without interference from human activity, developed plans to prevent overfishing without crippling the fishing industry, and helped African herders find forage for their animals.
In fact, the crowned lemurs may be found in the more humid areas only because they have been forced out of their preferred dry habitat by human interference.
Of course, for sufficiently large habitat sizes, clonal interference also occurs in the presence of long-range migration.
Those studies revealed that, in natural habitats where human interference is relatively small, the diversity and abundance of species are greater than in fragmented habitats and where intensive farming is carried out.
Overharvesting, human interference with habitat through jetty construction or other activities are possible culprits.
High variance partitioned within populations indicates that these populations are well sustained, but high levels of anthropogenic interference and habitat fragmentation are major threats for the sustainability of this plant in nature.
We find that the adaptation speed of asexuals saturates when the linear habitat size exceeds a characteristic interference length, which becomes shorter with smaller migration and larger mutation rate.
To investigate the phenology of F. benguetensis without anthropic interferences, a natural habitat was selected near Xindian District, New Taipei City, Taiwan (E121°33′55.44; N24°53′49.56).
The World Wildlife Fund attributes the decline in dolphin populations over the last several decades to human interference in their habitats, such as dam-building and fishing nets.
