Non-overlapping generations are found in species in which the adult generation dies after one breeding season. If a species for instance can only survive winter in the juvenile state the species will automatically consist of non-overlapping generations. The bee Amegilla dawsoni, an example of a species with non-overlapping generations
The overlap of generations (mother and adult offspring) Cooperative care of the brood; Weaver ants, here collaborating to pull nest leaves together, can be considered eusocial, as they have a permanent division of labor. E. O. Wilson extended the concept to include other social insects, such as ants, wasps, and termites. Originally, it was ...
The overlapping generations (OLG) model is one of the dominating frameworks of analysis in the study of macroeconomic dynamics and economic growth.In contrast to the Ramsey–Cass–Koopmans neoclassical growth model in which individuals are infinitely-lived, in the OLG model individuals live a finite length of time, long enough to overlap with at least one period of another agent's life.
The effective population size (N e) is the size of an idealised population that would experience the same rate of genetic drift as the real population. [1] Idealised populations are those following simple one-locus models that comply with assumptions of the neutral theory of molecular evolution.
Fixation rates can easily be modeled as well to see how long it takes for a gene to become fixed with varying population sizes and generations. For example, The Biology Project Genetic Drift Simulation allows to model genetic drift and see how quickly the gene for worm color goes to fixation in terms of generations for different population sizes.
Xennials is a portmanteau blending the words Generation X and Millennials to describe a "micro-generation" [5] [6] or "cross-over generation" [7] of people whose birth years are between the mid-late 1970s and the early-mid 1980s.
There is some overlap in ideas between Project 2025 and Trump’s campaign — both include some variation of shutting down the Department of Education, cracking down on gender-affirming care ...
A cusper is a person born near the end of one generation and the beginning of another. People born in these circumstances tend to have a mix of characteristics common to their adjacent generations, but do not closely resemble those born in the middle of their adjacent generations, and thus these cusper groups can be considered micro generations.
