Conservation of Small Populations02:04

Conservation of Small Populations

17.4K
Small population sizes put a species at extreme risk of extinction due to a lack of variation, and a consequent decrease in adaptability. This weakens the chances of survival under pressures such as climate change, competition from other species, or new diseases. Large populations are more likely to survive pressures such as these, as such populations are more likely to harbor individuals that have genetic variants that are adaptive under new stresses. Small populations are much less...

What is Population Genetics?

64.8K
A population is composed of members of the same species that simultaneously live and interact in the same area. When individuals in a population breed, they pass down their genes to their offspring. Many of these genes are polymorphic, meaning that they occur in multiple variants. Such variations of a gene are referred to as alleles. The collective set of all the alleles within a population is known as the gene pool.

Population Growth

28.7K
Population size is dynamic, increasing with birth rates and immigration, and decreasing with death rates and emigration. In ideal conditions with unlimited resources, populations can increase exponentially, which plots as a J-shaped growth rate curve of population size against time. This type of curve is characteristic of newly-introduced invasive species, or populations that have suffered catastrophic declines and are rebounding.

Testing a Claim about Mean: Known Population SD

3.3K
A complete procedure of testing the hypothesis about a population mean is explained here.
Estimating a population mean requires the samples to be distributed normally. The data should be collected from the randomly selected samples having no sampling bias. The sample size needed to be higher than 30, and most importantly, the population standard deviation should be already known.
In most realistic situations, the population standard deviation is often unknown, but in rare circumstances, when it...

Area of Science:

  • Forensic Psychology
  • Correctional Mental Health
  • Psychological Assessment

Background:

  • Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is prevalent in the U.S. adult correctional population.
  • Jail environments present unique challenges for behavioral health assessments, particularly time constraints.
  • Inmates with PTSD symptoms may pose risks to themselves, others, and staff.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish an empirical basis for a practical PTSD screening tool for recently booked adult jail inmates.
  • To examine existing PTSD screening tools for their utility in a jail setting.

Main Methods:

  • A review of prior research on PTSD screening tools was conducted.
  • Data from a random sample of 283 adult jail inmates were analyzed.
  • Specificity and sensitivity rates for various screening criteria combinations were assessed.

Main Results:

  • A two-item screen demonstrated an 86.4% sensitivity rate.
  • The same two-item screen achieved an 80.4% specificity rate.
  • This combination of criteria proved to be a practical and clinically relevant approach.

Conclusions:

  • A brief, two-item PTSD screen is effective for use with adult jail populations.
  • This screening method offers a feasible solution for identifying PTSD in correctional settings.
  • The findings support the implementation of this practical approach to PTSD screening in jails.
