Cell size regulation induces sustained oscillations in the population growth rate [PDF]
We study the effect of correlations in generation times on the dynamics of population growth of microorganisms. We show that any non-zero correlation that is due to cell-size regulation, no matter how small, induces long-term oscillations in the population growth rate.

Efficiency with Endogenous Population Growth [PDF]
In this paper, we generalize the notion of Pareto-efficiency to make it applicable to environments with endogenous populations. Two different efficiency concepts are proposed, P-efficiency and A-efficiency.

Population and species neighbor identity impact trait–trait relationships and plant performance
We evaluated how populations and species identity influence plant performance and trait outcomes in mixtures, and assessed trait variation among populations of two forb species native to the western United States (Dieteria canescens and Heterotheca villosa) following three interaction treatments (single‐population monoculture, two‐population mixture ...

Local contact inhibition leads to universal principles of cell population growth [PDF]
Cancer cell population dynamics often exhibit remarkably replicable, universal laws despite their underlying heterogeneity. Mechanistic explanations of universal cell population growth remain partly unresolved to this day, whereby population feedback between the microscopic and mesoscopic configurations can lead to macroscopic growth laws.

Effects of chronic browsing on life‐history traits of an irruptive large herbivore population
This study aimed to determine the relationship between diet quality, body mass, and size (hind foot length), and female reproduction and sought to identify the mechanism by which high density under severe food limitations is maintained. Our results demonstrated that sika deer introduced to Nakanoshima Island have maintained high densities through high ...

Population Growth and CO2 Emission in Nigeria: A Recursive ARDL Approach
Theoretically, population growth is believed to increase greenhouse gas emissions, particularly CO2 emissions through the increase in human activities.

The unpredictably eruptive dynamics of spruce budworm populations in eastern Canada
We examine historical population data for spruce budworm from several locations through the period 1930–1997, and use density‐dependent recruitment curves to test whether the pattern of population growth over time is more consistent with Royama's (1984; Ecological Monographs 54:429–462) linear R(t) model of harmonic oscillation at Green River New ...

Dendritic cells steering antigen and leukocyte traffic in lymph nodes
Dendritic cells are key players in the activation of T cells and their commitment to effector function. In this In a Nutshell Review, we will discuss how dendritic cells guide the trafficking of antigen and leukocytes in the lymph node, thus influencing T‐cell activation processes. Dendritic cells (DCs) play a central role in initiating and shaping the

Demographic Factors Influence On Population Added In Sumbersari Jember District [PDF]
Population growth is the increasing population changes at any time which is calculated in the number of individuals. This study aimed to determine the effect of demographic factors on the growth of population in the district of Jember in East Java ...

The dual nature of TDC – bridging dendritic and T cells in immunity
TDC are hematopoietic cells combining dendritic and T cell features. They reach secondary lymphoid organs (SLOs) and peripheral organs (liver and lungs) after FLT3‐dependent development in the bone marrow and maturation in the thymus. TDC are activated and enriched in SLOs upon viral infection, suggesting that they might play unique immune roles, since
