The end of urban sprawl? Internal migration across the rural-urban continuum in Switzerland, 1966-2018

In high-income countries, migration redistributed populations from congested city centres into the sparsely populated outskirts, raising challenges to environmental and population health and the conservation of biodiversity. We evaluate whether this periur ...

Linking micro and macroevolution in the presence of migration

Sophie Myriam Hautphenne, Laurent Lehmann, Nicolas Salamin

Understanding macroevolutionary patterns is central to evolutionary biology. This involves the process of divergence within a species, which starts at the microevolutionary level, for instance, when two sub populations evolve towards different phenotypic o ...

Population Genomics of Mycobacterium leprae Reveals a New Genotype in Madagascar and the Comoros

Stewart Cole, Stefanie Boy-Röttger, Andrej Benjak, Charlotte Avanzi, Philippe Busso, Pushpendra Singh, Thyago Leal Calvo

Human settlement of Madagascar traces back to the beginning of the first millennium with the arrival of Austronesians from Southeast Asia, followed by migrations from Africa and the Middle East. Remains of these different cultural, genetic, and linguistic ...

Genome-wide SNP profiling of worldwide goat populations reveals strong partitioning of diversity and highlights post-domestication migration routes

Stéphane Joost, Estelle Rochat, Elia Vajana

Background: Goat populations that are characterized within the AdaptMap project cover a large part of the worldwide distribution of this species and provide the opportunity to assess their diversity at a global scale. We analysed genome-wide 50K single nuc ...

Quantifying the Benefits of Labor Mobility in a Currency Union

Unemployment differentials are bigger in Europe than in the United States. Migration responds to unemployment differentials, though the response is smaller in Europe. Mundell (1961) argued that factor mobility is a precondition for a successful currency un ...

Prosperity and Social Inequalities: Montes Claros, How to Plan an Intermediary City in Brazil

Jean-Claude Bolay

According to international statistics, nearly 50% of the world’s urban population live nowadays in cities of less than 500,000 inhabitants. These small and medium-sized cities play a role of intermediation between rural regions, local economy and more exte ...

Climate or migration: what limited European beech post-glacial colonization?

Basil Andrew Stansfield Davis

AimDespite the recent improvements made in species distribution models (SDMs), assessing species' ability to migrate fast enough to track their climate optimum remains a challenge. This study achieves this goal and demonstrates the reliability of a process ...

Advanced Data Mining Method for Discovering Regions and Trajectories of Moving Objects: "Ciconia ciconia" Scenario

Stefano Spaccapietra, Claudio Magalhaes Carneiro

Trajectory data is of crucial importance for a vast range of applications involving analysis of moving objects behavior. Unfortunately, the extraction of relevant knowledge from trajectory data is hindered by the lack of semantics and the presence of error ...
