And relatively good climatic conditions would have favoured population expansions.
In India demand of groundwater resources continuously increases with the advent of industrialisation and population expansions.
VERT enables identification of adaptive events (population expansions triggered by adaptive mutants) via visualization of the relative proportions of different fluorescently-labeled cells.
Introduced (non-native) species (e.g., Pomacea canaliculata) had high affinities for reservoirs, which are in need of monitoring to curb population expansions.
Tests designed to reconstruct demographic history from sequence data indicated that both clades of D. arizonensis, as well as O. longicornis, have experienced historical population expansions.
Fu's Fs is a particularly useful test statistic as it appears to be the most sensitive to population expansions [50].
Thus, understanding the genetic origin and history of Korea may be informative for questions concerning prehistoric migration route(s) and population expansions in East Asia.
Another possible explanation is that different ADH1B haplotype patterns occurred at the founding of the different ethnic phyla and remained largely unchanged during population expansions and interactions.
Taken together, this information lends to the hypothesis that HMPV (and HRSV) lineages circulate in a cyclic trend of multiple eclipse phases preceding periodic population expansions.
Both the A and B lineages possess multiple alleles, forming star-shaped phylogenies (Fig. 2) which is characteristic of recent population expansions.
Note that when simulating population expansions, we excluded simulations with values of expansion parameters resulting in present-day effective population sizes exceeding 1 billion individuals.
