Predicting impacts of future human population growth and development on occupancy rates of forest dependent birds. Biol. Conserv. 170, 311-320.Brown ML, Donovan TM, Schwenk WS, Theobald DM (2014) Predicting impacts of future human population growth and development on occupancy rates of forest-...
Earth is rapidly being urbanized, with 70% of the human population expected to live in cities by 20501. Urban ecosystems provide major benefits to people, such as promoting social development and living convenience. However, high population densities in cities cause environmental impacts, such as ...
The world population growth rate hovers around .83% per year. This number is not even across all countries; some countries’ populations are rapidly growing, while others have been hovering around zero for years. Nigeria and Pakistan have the highest growth rates in the world. They have extreme...
Urban growth since World War II has been very rapid in much of the world. In developing countries with high overall population growth rates the populations of some cities have been doubling every 10 years or less. Natural increase and population growth Natural increase. Put simply, natural increa...
Although our findings lack thorough quantitative estimates of in vivo effective population growth rates, we make the assumption here that in vivo PTRs are indeed related to growth. For some of our analyses, we also assume that PTRs are roughly comparable across taxa. For example, we chose a ...
This is ascribed to improved healthcare infrastructure and increase in cases of cervical cancer and other HPV-related cancers among the population. A report published in 2022 by the American Cancer Society stated that 9,440 new anal cancers were diagnosed in the U.S. in the same year. More...
Background / Purpose: To show the interrelationship of human population growth to extinction of species. Main conclusion: Because of the lack of accurate estimates of the number of species and of the past and present rates of extinction, the range of uncertainty is about 4.5 orders of magnitude...
Schumpeter highlighted the role of science, technology and human capital in explaining differing growth rates at both microeconomic and macroeconomic levels through entrepreneurial actions. Schumpeter's ‘creative destruction’ is the engine of growth (Grossman and Helpman, 1994, Romer, 1990). Innovation...
Disruptions, such as closures of businesses during pandemics, not only affect businesses and amenities directly but also influence how people move, spreading the impact to other businesses and increasing the overall economic shock. However, it is unclear
Functional studies of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been hindered by the lack of methods to assess their evolution. Here we present lncRNA Homology Explorer (lncHOME), a computational pipeline that identifies a unique class of long noncoding RNAs (l
