Thus, the small-selected fish only experienced four rather than five generations of intensive size-selective harvest.
We nevertheless documented effects of positively size-selective harvesting on a range of traits and also presented molecular evidence of directional selection altering the genotypes, reinforcing the previously expressed notion that rapid evolutionary change is possible over very short time periods of intensive size-selective harvesting (Conover and Munch 2002; van Wijk et al. 2013).
Recent empirical work examining size and weight distributions of exploited sea cucumber populations in Turkey finds evidence for the loss of larger size classes, as predicted from intensive size-dependent harvesting (González-Wangüemert et al. 2015).
A common expectation and empirically reported effect of intensive and size-selective harvesting is the downsizing of body size (Conover and Munch 2002; Jørgensen et al. 2007; Swain et al. 2007; Alós et al. 2014).
This finding was robust to the size of intensive care units, prevalence of MRSA on admission, proportion of patients classified as high risk, and precise value of willingness to pay for health benefits.
Characteristics of hospital size (beds), type and size (beds) of intensive care unit, shift schedule for nurses and physicians (start and end as time of day), number of nurses and physicians appointed to each shift, number of occupied and free beds in each shift, maximum number of patients in each shift, and number of admitted and discharged patients in each shift were recorded for every unit.
The United States, Canada, Mexico, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Brunei, Chile and Peru completed the treaty after many years of intensive negotiations that continued as the group grew in size.
Secondly, the bulk of the neuropsychological literature is composed of intensive investigations of individual patients or studies with a small sample size (Behrmann et al. 1998b).
It is made up of 200 pictures, many small in size, taken in Central Africa between the end of the 19th century and 1960, the years of intensive European colonization.
Findings from a national survey of intensive care unit (ICU) utilization showed differences in types of procedures performed between unit types and hospital sizes [ 21].
Months of intensive care followed.
