In the absence of such data, the model assumed that individual badgers at all densities exhibited the behaviour patterns recorded in a moderate-density population [ 25], and this assumption probably explains the predicted increases in prevalence with group size in the model.
Observations were made under low and moderate density conditions, called population A and B, respectively.
Examples of such applications would be to define introgressed regions in NILs or to generate moderate density linkage maps from RIL populations.
In our initial screening trial in 2008, treatments were applied to a single site with a moderate density of aphids (∼120 aphids per plant), due to low aphid populations across our region during that year.
38 Populations at moderate densities were investigated over 4 years in different earlier experiments (see text), 12 populations in moderate to high densities were investigated during the 2-year experiment reported here.
Between the hills of central India and the Himalayas lies the Ganges River valley proper, constituting an area of high-density population, moderate rainfall, and high agricultural productivity.
Under moderate densities breeding suppression worked as predicted and similarly like observed in wild populations of bank voles [ 21, 51].
Our long-term data base from 38 experimental populations in large enclosures in boreal grassland confirms that breeding rates are density-regulated at moderate densities, probably by social suppression of subordinate potential breeders.
In initial moderate densities 67-10067-100%males were breeding (mean: 82%), in initially double densities 86-10086-100% 93%) and in triple densities all females in three populations and in the fourth one 67% of the females were breeding.
The SDM maps converged with the observations discussed above, showing highly suitable areas for flying foxes mainly located along riversides, in river basins in the central plain, and in areas of moderate human population density.
"It has a high-density population and the demographics are terrific," he said.
