Demographic influences on mitochondrial DNA lineage survivorship in animal populations

TL;DR: Probability models of branching processes and computer simulations of these models are used to examine stochastic survivorship of female lineages under a variety of demographic scenarios and results are discussed in the context of recent empirical observations of low mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence heterogeneity in humans and expected distributions of asexually transmitted traits among sexually reproducing species.

Armed Conflict and The Environment: A Critique of the Literature

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify a few lights in the wilderness and briefly outline a program of research on the relationship between resources, the environment, and armed conflict, which suffers from a lack of clarity over what is meant by "environmental conflict", researchers engage in definitional and polemical exercises rather than analysis, and important variables are neglected, notably political and economic factors which have a strong influence on conflict and mediate the influence of resource and environmental factors.

TL;DR: The impact of human activity on the global atmospheric sulfur cycle is easily seen in densely inhabited, industrialized regions: the degradation of visibility by haze, the acidity of atmospheric precipitation, and the damage to forest vegetation are among the more obvious symptoms of this impact as mentioned in this paper.
