Microsatellite mutations and inferences about human demography. by Gonser, R, Donnelly, P, Nicholson, G, Di Rienzo, A

“…However, inference about population processes relies on the specification of mutation parameters that are largely unknown and likely to differ across loci. …”

Considerations for gluten free foods - pearl and finger millet processing and market demand by Manivannan Selladurai, Manoj Kumar Pulivarthi, Anu Suprabha Raj, Mehreen Iftikhar, P.V. Vara Prasad, Kaliramesh Siliveru

“…Since, they are regarded as the staple foods of the poor and vulnerable populations, development of new products and improvements in their nutritional quality will aid in the general health of these population. Processing of millets and production of variable gluten-free ready-to-eat and nutritional supplements has increased their market value in the recent years. …”

Waste not, want not: Microsatellites remain an economical and informative technology for conservation genetics by Samantha S. Hauser, Giridhar Athrey, Paul L. Leberg

“…Despite the higher precision of SNPs, we find that microsatellites effectively uncover population processes and patterns and are superior for parentage analyses in this species with reduced genetic diversity. …”

Demographic analysis of an Israeli Carpobrotus population by Bogdan, A, Levin, SC, Salguero-Gomez, R, Knight, TM

“…Demographic models are ideally suited to identify and understand population processes and stages in the life cycle of the species that could be most effectively targeted with management. …”

Male great tits assort by personality during the breeding season by Johnson, K, Aplin, L, Cole, E, Farine, D, Firth, J, Patrick, S, Sheldon, B

“…Animal personalities can influence social interactions among individuals, and thus have major implications for population processes and structure. Few studies have investigated the significance of the social context of animal personalities, and such research has largely focused on the social organization of nonterritorial populations. …”

An individual-based forest model links canopy dynamics and shade tolerances along a soil moisture gradient by Jean Liénard, Nikolay Strigul

“…Mechanistic understanding of population processes involved in the forest–parkland–desert transition will improve our ability to explain species distributions and predict forest responses to climatic changes.…”

Darwin and Lotka: Two Concepts of Population by Philip Kreager

“…In contrast, the evolutionary synthesis - a collaborative product of research in experimental and population genetics, natural history, and related fields of biology - followed Darwin in insisting that close observation of small-scale population processes and local environments is necessary to understand population change. …”

Motion-induced blindness and Troxler fading: common and different mechanisms. by Yoram S Bonneh, Tobias H Donner, Alexander Cooperman, David J Heeger, Dov Sagi

“…The results suggest that both MIB and Troxler are equally affected by contrast adaptation, but that the rate of MIB is governed by an additional mechanism, possibly involving antagonistic processes between neuronal populations processing target and mask. Our results link MIB to other bi-stable visual phenomena that involve neuronal competition (such as binocular rivalry), which exhibit an analogous dependency on the strength of the competing stimulus components.…”
