A significant obstacle is the availability of spatially explicit population data over long time periods. Spatially explicit population maps, including the Gridded Population of the World (GPW)19, the Global Rural Urban Mapping Project (GRUMP)20, LandScan21, and WorldPOP22, are of limited utility ...
East Laguna Village has been characterized, above all, by very high rates of population growth for nearly a century. Rapid population increases have put pressure on fixed land resources, especially since the 1950s, when the opening of new land for cultiv
Nematodes are the most abundant animals on earth1. At least a third of the human population is infected with a nematode at any given time2. Phylogenetic analyses have resolved nematode species into five broad clades with parasitic representatives in each3,4. Nematodes can be free-living, likeCa...
Population ageing is a global issue that is becoming increasingly severe. An increasingly ageing population is posing challenges for public health [1,2]. A transformation of the major health threats has been occurring due to population ageing. In the early twentieth century, the major health threat...
World demographic growth exceeds the share of world population in northern Africa southern Africa and western Asia. In contrast to the annual rate of growth of population the annual rate of increase indicates a slight decrease in the rhythm of growth. Developing countries reached a peak in the ...
The worldwide leaf economic spectrum (WLES) is a strikingly consistent pattern of correlations among leaf traits. Although the WLES effectively summarizes variation in plant ecological strategies, little is known about its evolution. We reviewed estimates of natural selection and genetic variation for...
Guangdong province by using a regression model to explore the effects of potential determinants(manufacturing sector, service sector, fixed-asset investment scale, public services levels in cities, average income of industrial workers, and local government financial status) on urban population shrinkage. ...

The WHO (World Health Organization) manuals provide state-of-the-art guidance on how a semen analysis should be carried out. The much anticipated sixth edition of the WHO semen analysis manual has been released 10 years after its previous version and includes essential updates, such as new refe...
In the current study, we analyzed the genomes of a worldwide collection of isolates to better define the global population structure ofM. kansasii. The genomic analyses provided insights into its speciation, diversification, the sources of clinical infections, and possible genetic determinants associated...
