Genetic variation, characterized by AFLPs, was low (mean gene diversity, He: 0.126) and generally increased with increasing population size.
Critically, theory predicts that structural bias is exacerbated with (independently) increasing population size, and increasing problem difficulty.
With the increasing population size, lions have expanded their range and move throughout the Greater Gir Landscape in Western India.
Increasing population size and demand for food in the developing world is driving the intensification of agriculture, often threatening the biodiversity within the farmland itself and in the surrounding landscape.
The Peregrine Fund is using hands-on management to increase productivity in the wild population in Los Haitises National Park as well as increasing population size and distribution through a translocation program (hacking of nestlings) at the Puntacana Resort and Club in Punta Cana.
Additionally, as in [14] (cf. [17]), the Jensen Shannon divergence grows with increasing population size N.
Similarly, for reasons described above, the convergence behavior of the model also does not change significantly with increasing population size.
We will see in Proposition 1 below that the Markov chain converges to the solution of (11) for increasing population size (Nuparrowinfty).
Since the crossover probability parameter p m has been set as 0.8, so crossover operation is more fully undertaken with increasing population size, the "premature" phenomenon can be avoided and the model converges faster.
Finally, if the population size and density are positively correlated with habitat quality, plant size and reproductive success may increase in response to increasing population size and density (Leimu et al., [2006]).
The IUCN lists the California sea lion as Least Concern due to "its large and increasing population size".
