The line graph gives data on the birth rate, death rate and total population of England and Wales over the span of three centuries, from 1700 to 2000. As a general trend, the population in England and Wales increased overwhelmingly after the 19th century and the death...
Owing to the enormous size of the nineteenth-century Chinese population, even a much lowered average rate of growth has brought it to its reported 583,000,000 by 1953.23doi:10.1007/978-1-349-04172-5_3Walt W. RostowPalgrave Macmillan UK...
This year marked the launch of the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 study, the first presentation of the study to incorporate the devastating direct, and indirect, worldwide impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic on population health. Understanding how th
(2014) found that urbanization is the best predictor of facial stereotyping out of a range of other potentially relevant predictors. They proposed that exposure to a large number of unfamiliar faces in urban areas may be relevant to the development of WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrialized, ...
The majority of the world’s population continue to be exposed to levels of air pollution substantially above WHO Air Quality Guidelines and, as such, air pollution constitutes a major, and in many areas, increasing threat to public health....
Electrode signals were amplified and filtered (x1000, 300–5 kHz; AM differential amplifier 1700; AM Systems, Sequim, WA USA), digitized at 20 kHz (CED Power 1401, Cambridge Electronic Design, Cambridge, UK), and stored for further analysis (Spike II, v7.16 ×86, CED). Recordings ...
Although metabarcoding and metagenomic approaches have generated large datasets on worldwide phytoplankton species diversity, the intraspecific genetic diversity underlying the genetic adaptation of marine phytoplankton to specific environmental niches r
Failure to consider population structure when managing harvested fishes increases the risk of stock depletion, yet empirical estimates of population structure are often lacking for important fishery species. In this study, we characterise genetic variati
The rate of cuckoldry in this Western population was 0.9% (95% confidence interval 0.4–1.5%), and we argue that given the current data on historical populations we have to conclude that, at least for Western human populations, cuckoldry rate is probably in the range of 1%. Heredity (...
