But it's also smaller animals that don't need that much space become vulnerable to the dynamics of small populations.
Modeling the effect of El Niño on the persistence of small populations: the Galápagos Penguin as a case study.
There is improved sensitivity in the assessment of small populations, which is critical in the evaluation of minimal residual disease.
Miller, C. R., Joyce, P. & Waits, L. P. A new method for estimating the size of small populations from genetic mark-recapture data.
Dr. Harry Ostrer, a medical geneticist at New York University, said the 26 specific genetic diseases found among Ashkenazim, usually attributed to "founder effects," could be explained by the idea of a mosaic of small populations.
The intensity of herbivory, however, was higher in progeny of small populations, at least in terms of the proportion of biomass removed.
Cell trafficking during pregnancy results in persistence of small populations of fetal cells in the mother, known as fetal microchimerism (FMc).
The space of population states approach is applied to analyze dynamics of small populations evolving in an unconstrained one-dimensional search space.
These and related probabilities can be explored mathematically, and such models of small populations provide crucial advice to those who manage threatened species.
Estimation of the number of individuals in each social group was undertaken using "Capwire" a method designed for estimating the size of small populations from genetic mark-recapture data35.
Other challenges include the dynamics and genetics of small populations, the psychological challenges for small isolated human groups and backup technologies and strategic options which may be necessary to ensure long-term operation of closed ecological systems.
