Anthropology and demography by Bošković Aleksandar

“…In the first part of the paper, the author presents some general considerations, like the one that "demography is one of the best understood and predictable parts of human behavior, even if demographers still find themselves unable to predict accurately when parameters will change in interesting ways, such as the ′the baby boom′ or the shift to later childbeanng in the 1970s and 1980s North America" (Howell, 1986: 219). …”

A Framework to Unify the Relationship Between Numerical Abundance, Biomass, and Environmental DNA by Matthew C. Yates, Taylor M. Wilcox, Shannon Kay, Pedro Peres‐Neto, Daniel D. Heath

“…Nevertheless, the framework demonstrates that correlating eDNA directly with either N or biomass (as is commonly done in many studies) inherently necessitates an adjustment to infer the other metric if populations exhibit size structure variation. Collectively, we demonstrate that quantitative eDNA data is unlikely to correspond exactly to either population N or biomass but can be adjusted to simultaneously reflect both.…”
