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 ...
Human populations are not homogeneous and this heterogeneity greatly matters for the likely future growth of the population. Populations that are selective in a way that they have only a small proportion of women or more elderly people than young adults are likely to have lower birth rates than ...
We previously determined the range of dose rates of ƴ-irradiation that is sufficient to inflict a small amount of double-strand DNA breaks on cells but does not prevent them from proliferating and growing10. At continuous ƴ-irradiation of 1 mGy/h, the growth of HDKs (Fig. 2b) and ...
Describe the mechanisms by which human population growth and resource use causes increased extinction rates. Why do all populations have the potential to grow exponentially? What are the potential consequences of continued human population growth? Discuss the eff...
In biology, an environment or space constituted of plants, animals, and things of nature are called a natural world. The two main forms of the natural world are the natural environment and the biosphere.Answer and Explanation: Potential consequences...
Since the world’s population is expected to double in the next 51 years many experts think we are on the edge of a widespread water crisis. But that doesn’t have to be the result. Water shortages do not have to trouble the world—if we start valuing water more than we have in the...
It was established in the 1960s as a response to the rapidly growing population and related risks, such as excessive use of natural resources, environmental pollution, a high unemployment rate, malnutrition, or the destruction of the Earth’s surface, especially of forests. The increased ...
In this contribution, we use remote sensed information coupled with population density data for continental Africa to assess quantitatively the prevalence of migration and immobility in the context of one cause of resource degradation: drought. We find that the effect of drought on mobility is ...
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
