There are "a few hundred" black-footed ferrets across 24 sites in North America, Moehring told me, but their survival relies heavily on the prairie dogs—an animal that, though it also faces threats like habitat loss and disease, has got a comparatively healthier population size.

In a paper that last month won them the Robert Lucas prize, which recognises excellent research in political economy, they build a model that yokes economic performance to population size, within which they can run time forward by hundreds of years to watch the balance of economic power change.

Having read and digested that discussion, I want to continue it by responding to some of the most vocal criticisms of my own work, which includes research on "population engineering"—the intentional manipulation of human population size and structure—I've done with my colleagues, Jake Earl and Colin Hickey.

If you prefer city living but care about cutting costs, there is some good news: In the U.S., several mid-sized cities are also highly livable, meaning they're more affordable than larger, metropolitan areas (since cost of living tends to correlate with population size), but still offer many amenities.

By combining state-by-state data (here) from Polaris with state population totals (see first table, "Annual Estimates of the Resident Population" here: here) from the U.S. Census Bureau, Reuters found that the state of Nevada has the highest rate of human trafficking relative to population size: about 19.6 victims per 100,000 people.

What they did: The researchers looked at 6 years (2002–2008) of medical claims for weekly incidence of influenza-like illnesses in 603 regions of the U.S. They compared the levels of such illnesses with factors believed to play a role in transmission: population size, humidity, residential crowding, median household, vaccination coverage and income.

The discoveries, published Thursday in Science, provide a snapshot of how the ancient Maya altered the landscape around them for more than 2,500 years from about 1000 B.C. to 1500 A.D., and may change what archaeologists thought they knew about aspects of the ancient society's population size, agricultural practices and conflicts between warring dynasties.

There are two statistics: the Social Connectedness Index, a measure of the number of links for each county pair, and the Likelihood of Friendship, the relative probability of friendship which adjusts the index for the population size of the counties so that the likelihood is per person and not the total number of connections.

Carissa VélizResearch Fellow at the Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics, University of OxfordBent FlyvbjergProfessor at Säid Business School, University of OxfordFrom an anthropocentric perspective, to calculate the Earth's ideal population size, one would first need to establish an ideal benchmark for what we think is a good life, and calculate the resources it takes to sustain that lifestyle.

Houses of worship are more likely to be chosen as caucus locations when the county is religiously diverse More noteworthy is that after controlling for population size, absentee voting, and voter partisanship in the county (using the presidential vote share), there is a strong relationship between religious pluralism and choosing a church as a caucus site.

However, Buehler said that the difference between his study and the paper published in the NBER is that he measured death rates per total population size and the NBER report examined rates of the use of lethal force per numbers of "high-risk encounters," such as an encounter that involved an aggravated assault against an officer rather than a routine traffic stop.

Here's why: If in the last 14 years just five startups have been founded in a particular metropolitan region and just one has successfully attracted $50 million in venture capital funding, it might be technically correct to say that 20 percent of the companies in the region are well-capitalized; however, the population size is so small it doesn't really matter.

Nearly all scholars who study country size recognize, as Madison did, that large nations are more socially heterogeneous, whether because they represent an amalgamation of different regions, each with its own ethnolinguistic, religious or cultural heritage; or because their economic vitality encourages immigration; or because population size and geographic spread promote the growth of distinctive subcultures; or because they have more differentiated class structures.
