Demography: Fast and Slow

ABSTRACT: Abstract Scientific ideas on the human population tend to be rooted in a “slow demography” paradigm, which emphasizes an inertial, predictable, self‐contained view of population dynamics, mostly dependent on fertility and mortality. Yet, demography can also move fast. At the country level, it is crucial to empirically assess how fast demography moves by taking migratory movements into account, in addition to fertility and mortality. We discuss these ideas and present new estimates of the speed of population change, that is, country‐level population turnover rates, as well as the share of turnover due to migration, for all countries in the world with available data between 1990 and 2020. Population turnover is inversely related to population size and development, and migratory movements tend to become important factors in shaping demography for both small and highly developed countries. Longitudinally, we analyze annual turnover data for Italy and Germany, documenting the changing speed of population change over time and its determinants. Accepting the “fast and slow” demography perspective has several implications for science and policy, which we discuss.

slow/fast muscle with or without amplification

Fast and slow muscle proteins in scallops

Project description:We performed the first quantitative proteomics analysis of differences between striated (fast) and catch (slow) adductor muscle in Yesso scallop (Patinopecten yessoensis), with the goal to uncover muscle specific genes and proteins, as well as enzymes of metabolic pathways in fast and slow adductor muscle of scallops. The present findings highlight the functional roles of muscle contractile proteins, calcium signaling pathways, membrane and extracellular matrix proteins, and glycogen metabolism involved in the different contractile and metabolic properties between fast and slow muscles. The present findings will help better understand the molecular basis underlying muscle contraction and its physiological regulation in invertebrates.

Differences in gene expression between fast and slow muscle or between normal and denervated slow muscles

Project description:Fast and slow skeletal muscles show different characteristics and phenotypes. This data obtained from microarray includes the comparison of normal fast plantaris and slow soleus muscles of adult rats. Characters of slow muscle are strongly dependent on the level of muscular activity. Denervation silences the muscular activity. Therefore, we determined the effects of denervation on gene expression in slow soleus muscle of adult rats. Denervation was performed by transection (~5 mm) of left sciatic nerve at the gluteal level. No treatments were made in the normal control rats. Sampling of soleus and/or plantaris was performed in both normal and experimental groups 28 days after the surgery.

Continual evolution through coupled fast and slow feedbacks.

Project description:Continual evolution describes the unceasing evolution of at least one trait involving at least one organism. The Red Queen Hypothesis is a specific case in which continual evolution results from coevolution of at least two species. While microevolutionary studies have described examples in which evolution does not cease, understanding which general conditions lead to continual evolution or to stasis remains a major challenge. In many cases, it is unclear which experimental features or model assumptions are necessary for the observed continual evolution to emerge, and whether the described behavior is robust to variations in the given setup. Here, we aim to find the minimal set of conditions under which continual evolution occurs. To this end, we present a theoretical framework that does not assume any specific functional form and, therefore, can be applied to a wide variety of systems. Our framework is also general enough to make predictions about both monomorphic and polymorphic populations. We show that the combination of a fast positive and a slow negative feedback between environment, population, and evolving traits causes continual evolution to emerge even from the evolution of a single evolving trait, provided that the ecological timescale is sufficiently faster than the timescales of mutation and the negative feedback. Our approach and results thus contribute to a deeper understanding of the evolutionary dynamics resulting from biotic interactions.

Fast slow folding of an outer membrane porin.

Project description:In comparison to globular proteins, the spontaneous folding and insertion of β-barrel membrane proteins are surprisingly slow, typically occurring on the order of minutes. Using single-molecule Förster resonance energy transfer to report on the folding of fluorescently labeled outer membrane protein G we measured the real-time insertion of a β-barrel membrane protein from an unfolded state. Folding events were rare and fast (<20 ms), occurring immediately upon arrival at the membrane. This combination of infrequent, but rapid, folding resolves this apparent dichotomy between slow ensemble kinetics and the typical timescales of biomolecular folding.

Fast men slow more than fast women in a 10 kilometer road race.

Project description:Background. Previous studies have demonstrated that men are more likely than women to slow in the marathon (footrace). This study investigated whether the sex difference in pacing occurs for a shorter race distance. Materials & Methods. Data were acquired from the Bolder Boulder 10 km road race for the years 2008-2013, which encompassed 191,693 performances. There were two pacing measures, percentage change in pace of the first 3 miles relative to the final 3.2 miles and percentage change in pace of the first mile relative to the final 5.2 miles. Pacing was analyzed as a continuous variable and as two categorical variables, as follows: "maintain the pace," defined as slowing <5% and "marked slowing," defined as slowing ?10%. Results. Among the fastest (men < 48:40; women < 55:27) and second fastest (men < 53:54; women < 60:28) sex-specific finishing time sextiles, men slowed significantly more than women with both pacing measures, but there were no consistently significant sex differences in pacing among the slower four sextiles. For the fastest sextile, the odds for women were 1.96 (first pacing measure) and 1.36 (second measure) times greater than men to maintain the pace. For the fastest sextile, the odds for women were 0.46 (first measure) and 0.65 (second measure) times that of men to exhibit marked slowing. Multiple regression indicated that being older was associated with lesser slowing, but the sex difference among faster runners persisted when age was controlled. Conclusions. There was a sex difference in pacing during a 10 km race where glycogen depletion is not typically relevant. These results support the hypothesis that the sex difference in pacing partly reflects a sex difference in decision making.

Transcription profiling of mouse fast and slow invading C6 glial cells

Project description:Identification of genes mediating glioma invasion promotes the understanding of glia motility and might result in biologically based therapeutic approaches. To evaluate migration mechanisms operating in vitro versus in vivo, we used C6 rat glioma cells for selecting highly migratory cells in a monolayer migration assay (C6) as well as in brains of nude mice (C6SPGFP), and analyzed in each paradigm the expression profiles of these fast" cells versus those of the original "slow" cells.

PReFerSim: fast simulation of demography and selection under the Poisson Random Field model.

Project description:The Poisson Random Field (PRF) model has become an important tool in population genetics to study weakly deleterious genetic variation under complicated demographic scenarios. Currently, there are no freely available software applications that allow simulation of genetic variation data under this model. Here we present PReFerSim, an ANSI C program that performs forward simulations under the PRF model. PReFerSim models changes in population size, arbitrary amounts of inbreeding, dominance and distributions of selective effects. Users can track summaries of genetic variation over time and output trajectories of selected alleles.Availability and implementationPReFerSim is freely available at: https://github.com/LohmuellerLab/PReFerSim CONTACT: klohmueller@ucla.eduSupplementary information: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
