These data contain the Crude Colorado Census Tract Low Weight Birth Rate which equals the total number of low weight births (singleton low weight births) divided by the denominator of all singleton births (2015-2019). Low weight births are defined as infants weighing 5 pounds, 8 ounces or less (under 2,500 grams) at birth. These data are from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment's Vital Records Birth Dataset and are published annually by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment for use in its Health Equity/Environmental Justice Collaborative activities.
A changing environment directly influences birth and mortality rates, and thus population growth rates. However, population growth rates in the short-term are also influenced by population age-structure. Despite its importance, the contribution of age-structure to population growth rates has rarely been explored empirically in wildlife populations with long-term demographic data.
Here, we assessed how changes in age-structure influenced short-term population dynamics in a semi-captive population of Asian elephants (Elephas maximus).
We addressed this question using a demographic dataset of female Asian elephants from timber camps in Myanmar spanning 45 years (1970-2014). First, we explored temporal variation in age-structure. Then, using annual matrix population models, we used a retrospective approach to assess the contributions of age-structure and vital rates to short-term population growth rates with respect to the average environment.
Age-structure was highly variabl...
This project is for Phase 2 of a 3-phase project to determine reproduction, survival and depredation in Steller sea lions in the western Aleutian Islands (WAI) in relation to the eastern Gulf of Alaska (eGOA). Phase 1 proved high juvenile depredation in the eGOA through the novel use of life-long telemetry impants. In Phase 2 we will use improved Life History Transmitters (LHX-2 tags) in up to 10 pre-reproductive female western Steller sea lions from the Chiswell Island rookery (eGOA). LHX-2 tags record data throughout the host’s life, record birth events in females, and after death of the host transmit stored data via satellite. Post-mortem data will yield age at first pupping and lifetime births in females, as well as age and cause of death (predation vs. non-predation). All animals will be observed through remote video systems at Chiswell Island to determine pupping in subsequent years. Phase 2 objectives are to (1) validate LHX-2 birth detection against direct visual observations; (2) increase the eGOA sample size for animals >=3 years to enhance the statistical power of a regional comparison to the WAI; (3) facilitate the transition to remote LHX-2 tag deployments in the WAI by validating less invasive surgery enabled by smaller LHX-2 tags. The objectives of Phase 2 will be essential to enabling Phase 3. In a future Phase 3 (not requested here) we will use LHX-2 tags in the WAI to determine regional differences in survival and predation rates, birth rates and age at first reproduction. The dataset for this project is composed of one data file: NPRB-1310-final-data.csv. This dataset was generated under NPRB project 1310.

Abstract: The 2009 "Ecosystem Survey of Delphinus Species" research survey focused on the two species of common dolphin, Delphinus delphis and D. capensis, found off southern California, USA, and Baja California, Mexico. The primary objective was to provide information to improve conservation and management plans for these species. The project used a multidisciplinary approach. For both Delphinus species, data were collected to estimate abundance, pregnancy and birth rates, timing of reproduction, gene flow, and contaminant concentrations. Oceanographic data were collected to characterize habitat, and data on distribution and abundance of seabirds, prey fishes, and squids were collected to further characterize the ecosystem in which these dolphins live. Photographs of dolphin schools were taken from a NOAA Twin Otter aircraft while the survey was being conducted. The aerial photographs will provide count and measurement data to calibrate observer estimates of school size and to estimate timing of reproduction and birth rates. This research will facilitate understanding population demography of these species in an ecosystem framework. Essential information about the primary focal species, D. capensis, will greatly increase our knowledge about this coastal species and the geographic extent of a Mexico-U.S. transboundary stock. For additional information about the Delphinus cruise, please see http://swfsc.noaa.gov/prd-delphinus.aspx.
Purpose: The primary objectives of the 2009 Delphinus ecosystem cruise were (1) to characterize the distribution, habitat and reproductive characteristics of long- and short-beaked common dolphins, and (2) to improve non-lethal sampling techniques for studying reproduction in wild, free-ranging cetaceans.

Some neo-Malthusians regard fertility as being kept in check by scarcities and constraints and, conversely, as being raised by economic prosperity. Since out-migration to developed countries and the receipt of food aid from developed countries relax the constraints imposed by a country’s carrying capacity, both will have a positive effect on fertility rates in developing countries. Moreover, better economic prospects will also raise fertility, all other things equal. This article provides an empirical test of these hypotheses derived from a neo-Malthusian theory of fertility change. The results fail to confirm the theory and often contradict it.

The files provide data on variation in population density and demographic characteristics of freshwater pelagic cladoceran species: Bosmina longirostris, Ceriodaphnia pulchella, Diaphanosoma brachyurum (Sterlyazhii Pond, 55°41'53" N; 36°43'52"E , Russian Federation). The second dataset provides similar data for Daphnia catawba (inhabiting Lake Lacawac, the U.S.) estimated based on original paper by Tessier (1986), as well data on population density dynamics of the second pelagic cladoceran Holopedium gibberum inhabiting the same lake.
Muskoxen (Ovibos moschatus), transplanted to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in northeast Alaska in 1969 and 1970, were studied from April 1982 to April 1986 with the use of radio-telemetry. Forty-five animals were captured, measured, and marked, and 43 were radio-collared. In April 1985, the pre-calving population was estimated to be 352 muskoxen. In November 1985, 476 muskoxen were counted. This transplanted population rapidly expanded since 1976, increasing at a mean annual rate of 22% from 1978-1985. An estimated 111 calves were added to the population between late April and late June 1985. Most calves were born in mid- to late May, but the birth of calves in late June suggested that some cows came into a second estrus. Radio-collared cows calved both annually and in alternate years. A mean reproductive interval of 1.6 years was calculated for 15 radio-collared muskoxen observed for 2 or 3 consecutive years. In early July 1985, 75 calves: 100 cows (3+) were counted among 419 muskox classified. The bull(3+):100 cows (3+) ratio was 65 in 1985. Survival rates of calves and yearlings were high in 1983-1985. Annual loss (mortality and dispersal), including an annual harvest of 4-5 adult bulls, was estimated to be approximately 7-12% in 1983-1986. Muskoxen were most frequently seen in moderately sized mixed-sex herds of 10 to 30 animals, although herds as large as 118 muskoxen were seen. The largest mixed-sex herds were seen in precalving, fall and winter seasons, and mean herd size decreased during the rut. Bulls also occurred in groups of 2-10 and as solitary animals, but small groups of cows or solitary cows were seen only infrequently. Many marked adult bulls did not remain with a herd for long periods of time, but moved from herd to herd. Seasonal use of specific areas was documented and dispersal into new areas also occurred in 1982-1985. Muskoxen were most frequently associated with river and creek drainages except in winter and spring when ridges and hillsides blown free of snow were used by some animals. Use of vegetation types followed a phenological progression with muskox using tussock and low vegetation uplands in May and June, early blooming forbs on river bars in early June, and riparian willow bars after their emergence in late June.

File List populations.txt (md5: 038dfd428dd0506d551784dbbf5dc41c) Description The file populations.txt is a tab-delimited text file containing a summary of populations and demographic rates included in this study.
The data on 'EU foreigners' and 'Non-EU foreigners' for various years was was downloaded for Urban Audit cities from Eurostat, added together and joined spatially with the Urban Audit 2011-14 city centroids, also downloaded from Eurostat (https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/gisco/geodata/reference-data/administrative-units-statistical-units/urban-audit#ua11-14)Subject: people born in a different country to the country of residence may be more vulnerable to climate-related hazards such as heatwaves and flooding. This is because they may not speak the official language, or their knowledge of this language is not sufficient to understand the warnings and communicate with the emergency services. Also, these people may be less familiar with the area and the specificity of climate hazards there. They may often live in rented accommodation, which means that they may not be able to make changes to their dwelling to prepare it better for extreme weather events. Considering the proportion of the population that is foreign-born is thus an important aspects of adaptation planning in a city.
