Shell-size variation of Notoacmea biradiata (Archaeogastropoda: Acmaeidae) as a response to gastropod density and height in shore in the Colombian Pacific coast by A Giraldo, C Gómez, E Rodríguez

“…Intertidal gastropod density was found to be the dominant factor in determining basal shell length (ANOVA, P < 0.001) and shell height (ANOVA P < 0.05) changes. Thus, at low population densities the shells are larger and taller. The height on the shore did not influence the shell-size of N. biradiata (ANOVA, P > 0.30). …”

Agricultural Economic Development at the Rural-Urban Interface: Community Organization, Policy, and Agricultural Change by Jeff S. Sharp, Doug Jackson-Smith, Leah Smith

“…We also find that the counties with greater formal organizational development in support of agriculture are counties with larger populations, greater rural population densities, and larger numbers of farms compared to counties with less organizational development. …”

Nocturnal Acidification: A Coordinating Cue in the <i>Euprymna scolopes</i>–<i>Vibrio fischeri</i> Symbiosis by Brian L. Pipes, Michele K. Nishiguchi

“…<i>V. fischeri</i> symbionts detect their population densities through a behavior termed quorum-sensing, where they secrete and detect concentrations of autoinducer molecules at high cell density when nocturnal production of bioluminescence begins. …”

Temporal Patterns in the Abundance of a Critically Endangered Marsupial Relates to Disturbance by Roads and Agriculture. by Georgina J Yeatman, Adrian F Wayne, Harriet R Mills, Jane Prince

“…The results of this study suggest that landscape disturbance is less important at peak population densities, but during times of environmental and population change, sites less dissected by roads and agriculture better support woylie populations. …”

Clustering Techniques for Secondary Substations Siting by Silvia Corigliano, Federico Rosato, Carla Ortiz Dominguez, Marco Merlo

“…K-means algorithm, hierarchical agglomerative clustering, and a method based on optimal weighted tree partitioning are adapted to the problem and run on two real case studies, with different population densities. The algorithms are compared in terms of different indicators useful to assess the feasibility of the solutions found. …”

Extinction risk modeling predicts range-wide differences of climate change impact on Karner blue butterfly (Lycaeides melissa samuelis). by Yudi Li, David Wilson, Ralph Grundel, Steven Campbell, Joseph Knight, Jim Perry, Jessica J Hellmann

“…We instead created mixed density-dependent and -independent (hereafter "endo-exogenous") models for Kbbs based on long-term count data of five isolated populations in the upper Midwest, United States during two flight periods (May to June and July to August) to understand how the growth rates were related to previous population densities and abiotic environmental conditions, including various macro- and micro-climatic variables. …”

Escape from parasitism by the invasive alien ladybird, Harmonia axyridis by Comont, R, Purse, B, Phillips, W, Kunin, W, Hanson, M, Lewis, O, Harrington, R, Shortall, C, Rondoni, G, Roy, H

“…Alien species are often reported to perform better than functionally similar species native to the invaded range, resulting in high population densities, and a tendency to become invasive. …”

A non-local cross-diffusion model of population dynamics II: Exact, approximate, and numerical traveling waves in single- and multi-species populations by Krause, AL, Van Gorder, RA

“…We study traveling waves in a non-local cross-diffusion-type model, where organisms move along gradients in population densities. Such models are valuable for understanding waves of migration and invasion and how directed motion can impact such scenarios. …”

Insular nestling growth and its relationship to parental care effort in Silvereyes, Zosterops lateralis by Sandvig, EM, Coulson, T, Robertson, BC, Feeney, WE, Clegg, SM

“…Islands pose an interesting system to explore growth rate dynamics, because the characteristic insular features of high population densities and depauperate predator diversity translate into a potentially food limited environment with low predation risk. …”
