Prey scarcity compromises population survival, especially for specialist predators.
In a dynamic landscape the rate of change in landscape structure can be even more important than the degree of patch isolation in determining population survival and abundance.
The evidences obtained here support the fact that low CO2 availability becomes an important asset to the microbial population survival and growth promotion in the bioleaching environments.
These findings bring new insights on the impacts of a common contaminant on an important shellfish species having a planktonic early life stage development, with potential implications for population survival and ecosystem functioning in a changing environment.
In Biological Color, there are multiple objectives (from the viewpoint of population survival of a species) and those objectives are not equally weighted; so no single number can be defined as a figure of merit to be optimized.
In natural populations, purging and genetic rescue mitigate fitness decline during inbreeding periods, and might be critical to population survival, thus, both mechanisms should be considered when assessing extinction risks.
b Population survival by vegetation types.
It has significant impact on population survival when the population is at low level.
The Article employs a simulation model based on the U.S. population survival curve and income distribution to illustrate, in detail, how the two SWFs differ from CBA in selecting risk-regulation policies.
When k is assumed to be distributed as an inverse Gaussian, the population survival function becomes: S θ t = exp 1 θ 1 − 1 − 2 θ ln S t 1 / 2 (5).
The communal benefits of multicellular cooperation include a cellular division of labor, accessing resources that cannot effectively be utilized by single cells, collectively defending against antagonists, and optimizing population survival by differentiating into distinct cell types.
