Sentence examples for meta populations from inspiring English sources

Fragmentation of large contiguous forests to small and isolated forest patches either by natural phenomena or anthropogenic activities leads to drastic changes in forest patch sizes, shape, connectivity and internal heterogeneity, which restrict the movement leading to inbreeding among Meta populations with extirpation of species.

A spatially explicit multi-competitor coexistence model was developed for meta-populations of prawns (shrimp) occupying habitat patches across the Great Barrier Reef, where dispersal was localised and dispersal rates varied between species.

Importantly, by crossing at these habitat edges, many species demonstrate that with appropriate management of the housing matrix they have the potential for dispersal necessary for the maintenance of meta-populations.

have been observed in some fish meta-populations.

Our results suggest that this common inbreeding avoidance strategy of males and females could be a key for the preservation of genetic diversity in cockroach meta-populations.

The computer program VORTEX [29] was used to simulate the stochastic and deterministic forces affecting the Ebro Valley meta-populations and calculate indices of population viability.

The simulation tracks the gene inheritance within parasite meta-populations, defined by sex and genotype, harbored by individual hosts, which are characterized by age, susceptibility to helminth infection, host-to-host transmission patterns, and genotype- and sex-specific parasite burden.

Most of the SNUC areas and Indigenous Lands are large enough to have evolutionarily viable meta-populations of wild peach palm, which will survive as long as the integrity of the area is maintained.

Although meta-populations are often underpowered compared to studies of single populations of comparable size, our study circumvented some of the usual drawbacks of meta-populations.

Moreover, genetic distances between non-African meta-populations were comparatively small.

Genetic distances between non-African meta-populations were much smaller although still significant (p < 10−4).
