VIDEO: Watch now The international community faces major challenges in reaching Afghanistan's most vulnerable populations due to ongoing conflict and instability in many areas.
Earlier sexual debut among minority populations contributes to ongoing health disparities, with rates of HIV, other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), and unintended pregnancies disproportionately high among minority adolescents [ 5].
For instance, importing immigrants from the warmer regions (e.g., lower latitudes) of a species distribution into the cooler regions may improve the ability of the receiving population to cope with ongoing climate change.
In addition to rare driver mutations of obvious importance, there are numerous passenger mutations found at low allelic frequency within the tumor population, presumably due to ongoing genetic stress within the tumor that results in tumor heterogeneity [ 5, 7, 12, 13].
Therefore, LD is affected by the history of admixture and gene flow among local breeding populations in addition to ongoing selective processes and drift [ 34, 35].
Addressing these questions is crucial for understanding and predicting how plant populations will respond to ongoing changes in climate, key knowledge for conserving both species diversity and evolutionary potential.
Evaluating temporal and spatial patterns of hybridization in California Cx. pipiens complex populations is important to ongoing disease modeling and vector control efforts because the high degree of interfertility within the complex means that advantageous traits can spread via gene flow.
However, the recruitment rate was similar in terms of recruitment/million population to that reported in the ongoing FAST-MAG trial 15 and in hindsight, our recruitment target was too ambitious.
We used two-generation pedigrees from contemporary human populations to look for ongoing TD using the TDT.
Additionally, continued global use and unintentional production of these chemicals may contribute to ongoing U.S. population exposure given that these chemicals have the capacity for long-range transport, appearing in locations far from where they are manufactured or used (Fisher 1999).
