Subject field(s)
  • Collaboration with the FAO
  • Statistics
  • Commercial Fishing
CONT

Inconstant catchability among individual fish has been widely recognized... as a major source of error in depletion estimates of population size when using models [that] assume constant catchability. Inconstant catchability is a feature of populations that contain individuals with different vulnerabilities to capture or when their behaviour changes with successive hauls. The effect is to cause a rapid depletion of the more vulnerable individuals after the first unit(or few units) of effort is applied, leaving behind a pool of animals with a lower [catchability].

Univariate habitat differences among redside dace population status groups were evident; with the greatest contrasts between stable and extirpated populations... In comparison to extirpated populations, greater amounts of fine sediment, shallow pool and glide habitats, instream cover, riparian grasses, and vulnerable banks were measured at stable sites.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Modelling (Mathematics)
  • Epidemiology
CONT

The susceptible-infected-susceptible(SIS) model of Weiss and Dishon is one of the simplest models of endemic infections. The model describes the evolution of an infection in a fixed population, with no restriction on the possibility of reinfection of a previously infected and now recovered individual. This is in contrast to the venerable susceptible-infection-recovered(SIR) model, where reinfection is not permitted. Both models exhibit a threshold value of the infectivity, below which the infection immediately dies out. Below the threshold, where only a tiny fraction of the population is impacted, the two models have essentially equivalent statistical properties. Above the threshold, in the SIR model, the infection is self-limiting, since in a fixed population the number of potential new victims, the susceptible pool, is monotonically decreasing in size. The SIS model, on the other hand, describes an endemic infection which can(above the threshold) persist indefinitely, at least at the deterministic level. Thus, the statistics of infection size in the two models above the threshold are very different.

Key term(s)
  • susceptible-infectious-susceptible model
  • susceptible-infection-susceptible model

French

Domaine(s)
  • Modélisation (Mathématique)
  • Épidémiologie
CONT

On considère une population close et on modélise la propagation d’une maladie infectieuse dans cette population. On suppose que les individus composant la population peuvent être dans l’un de deux états : ils sont susceptibles (à la maladie) s’ils n’ont pas contracté la maladie, et infectieux s’ils ont contracté la maladie et qu’ils la propagent. Cela définit donc deux compartiments, l’objet de la modélisation étant de décrire l’évolution du nombre d’individus dans chaque compartiment [...]

CONT

Ce modèle est appelé modèle SIS, pour susceptible-infectieux-susceptible.

Subject field(s)
  • Labour and Employment
CONT

Population aging and the anticipated shrinking of the labour pool in the coming years will put pressure on both the demand for public services and the government's ability to fund them.

Key term(s)

French

Domaine(s)
  • Travail et emploi
CONT

Le vieillissement de la population et la diminution du bassin de main-d’œuvre attendus au cours des prochaines années exerceront des pressions à la fois sur la demande des services publics et sur la capacité de l’État de les financer.

Subject field(s)
  • Evolution (Biology)
  • Origin of Life and Speciation
CONT

This capacity for accumulation is due to hypertolerance, or phytotolerance: the result of adaptative evolution from the plants to hostile environments along multiple generations.

CONT

Just as adaptative evolution by natural selection is less easy in a small population of a species than in a larger one, because the total pool of genetic variability is inevitably less, so it is probable that a group containing many diversified species will be able to seize new evolutionary opportunities more easily than an undiversified group.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Évolution (Biologie)
  • Origine de la vie et des espèces en général
CONT

Cette capacité d'accumulation est dûe à l'hypertolérance, ou phytotolérance : résultat de l'évolution adaptative des plantes à des environnements hostiles au cours de multiple générations.

CONT

L'évolution adaptative résulte de l'action de la sélection naturelle sur les variations dues au hasard. La valeur adaptative ne se mesure que par le succès reproductif.
