Demography and the age of rare variants [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 Large whole-genome sequencing projects have provided access to much of the rare variation in human populations, which is highly informative about population structure and recent demography. Here, we show how the age of rare variants can be estimated from patterns of haplotype sharing and how these ages can be related to historical relationships between

Central bank independence and ageing [PDF]
We contrast the influence of demography and central bank independence on inflation. The recent demographic trends in developed countries are shown to weight more on inflation than central bank independence, while the contrary stands for the period from ...

Diagnosing the dangerous demography of manta rays using life history theory
PeerJ, 2014 Background. The directed harvest and global trade in the gill plates of mantas, and devil rays, has led to increased fishing pressure and steep population declines in some locations.

The impact of population demography and selection on the genetic architecture of complex traits [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 Population genetic studies have found evidence for dramatic population growth in recent human history. It is unclear how this recent population growth, combined with the effects of negative natural selection, has affected patterns of deleterious variation, as well as the number, frequencies, and effect sizes of mutations that contribute risk to complex

Journal of Animal Ecology, 2013 Populations are shifting their phenology in response to climate change, but these shifts are often asynchronous among interacting species. Resulting phenological mismatches can drive simultaneous changes in natural selection and population demography ...

What Can We Learn from Nearby AGNs? [PDF]
arXiv, 2004 This contribution reviews the properties of nuclear activity in nearby galaxies, with emphasis on their implications for the demography of nuclear black holes and the nature of accretion flows in the regime of very low accretion rates.
