Influence of seasonal variation to the population growth and ecophysiology of Typha domingensis (Typhaceae)
Precipitation is an important climatic element that defines the hydrological regime, and its seasonal variation produces annual dry and wet periods...

Population-level Assessment
In this chapter, we will discuss mathematical models of population dynamics. First, we will consider differential equation models, using a well-known...

Indirect effects of invasive and native predatory copepods (Mesocyclops pehpeiensis Hu and M. longisetus curvatus Dussart) on the population growth of brachionid rotifers
We quantified the effect of two cyclopoids, an invasive ( Mesocyclops pehpeiensis ) and a native ( Mesocyclops longisetus curvatus ) species on the...

Harvest trends, growth and longevity, and population dynamics reveal traditional assumptions for redhorse (Moxostoma spp.) management in Minnesota are not supported
Six species of redhorse sucker (family Catostomidae, genus Moxostoma ) occur in Minnesota, and all are harvested recreationally, particularly by...
-
Live soil inocula, not host population or domestication status, is the predominant driver of growth benefits to cowpea
PurposeCrops rely on microbes for critical services, but host benefits can be influenced by local makeup of microbiota and the host’s capacity to...

Population Structure and Speciation
Population genetic analysis enables us to understand genetic differences within and across populations or species, and provides a basis for...
