Survival of small populations under demographic stochasticity.
We estimate the mean time to extinction of small populations in an environment with constant carrying capacity but under stochastic demography. In particular, we investigate the interaction of stochastic variation in fecundity and sex ratio under several different schemes of density dependent population growth regimes. The methods used include Markov chain theory, Monte Carlo simulations, and n...
متن کاملThe Stability and Thermal Performance of a Small Solar pond
A small salt gradient solar pond with an average surface area of 1.8 m2 and depth of 0.8m has been tested. The depths of storage, gradient and surface zones are 0.3, 0.27 and 0.07m, respectively. The temperature of the storage zone for the summer days reaches its maximum of 65˚ C after about 8 days. Daily variation of the storage zone temperature was about 8˚C which is due to small volume of th...

متن کاملStability of small unisexual-bisexual populations of Poeciliopsis (Pisces: Poeciliidae)
All-female species of Poeciliopsis depend upon ~ ~ of closely related species for sperm. This relationship creates a competitive situation in which bisexual ~ ~ compete with unisexual ~ ~ for sperm from ~ ~ of the bisexual species. Earlier studies demonstrated a sufficient mechanism inherent in the behavior of ~ ~ for allowing coexistence in mixed unisexualbisexual populations. Courtship prefer...
متن کاملGenetic structure in African populations: implications for human demographic history.
The continent of Africa is the source of all anatomically modern humans that dispersed across the planet during the past 100,000 years. As such, African populations are characterized by high genetic diversity and low levels of linkage disequilibrium (LD) among loci, as compared to populations from other continents. African populations also possess a number of genetic adaptations that have evolv...
