Population dynamic consequences of fearful prey in a spatiotemporal predator-prey system.
Fear can influence the overall population size of an ecosystem and an important drive for change in nature. It evokes a vast array of responses spanning the physiology, morphology, ontogeny and the behavior of scared organisms.

Recent Population Dynamics of Japanese Encephalitis Virus
Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) causes acute viral encephalitis in humans and reproductive disorders in pigs. JEV emerged during the 1870s in Japan, and since that time, JEV has been transmitted exclusively throughout Asia, according to known reporting

Time-series analysis of parish register series can be used to study human population dynamics at three different levels: (i) The metapopulation of preindustrial rural England. A short wavelength, exogenous oscillation in the burials series of 404 parishes can be detected which, it is suggested, was driven by a cycle of malnutrition associated with ...

Stock assessment and exploitation of Atlantic salmon Salmo salar L. in the river Drammenselv
In 1985 the total salmon run and the exploitation rate in the river Drammenselv were estimated by combining catch statistics, counts of ascending salmon in a salmon ladder at Hellefoss, and a tagging-recapture experiment of the spawning stock below the ...

Ecological ramifications of adaptation to size-selective mortality
Size-selective mortality due to harvesting is a threat to numerous exploited species, but how it affects the ecosystem remains largely unexplored. Here, we used a pond mesocosm experiment to assess how evolutionary responses to opposite size-selective ...

Quantification of dynamic excitation potential of pedestrian population crossing footbridges [PDF]
Due to their slenderness, many modern footbridges may vibrate significantly under pedestrian traffic. Consequently, the vibration serviceability of these structures under human-induced dynamic loading is becoming their governing design criterion.
