Biodiversity conservation and agricultural sustainability: towards a new paradigm of ‘ecoagriculture’ landscapes (2008, background): “B (2008) increase of approximately one-third, with another 2–4 billion added in the subsequent 50 years (Cohen 2003).”
Human activity influences wildlife populations and activity patterns: implications for spatial and temporal refuges (2021, background): “Given the growing human population (Cohen 2003, Theobald 2005, Seto et al. 2012) and increased demand for recreational opportunities (Balmford et al. 2009), this type of human activity in natural systems is expected to increase and affect wildlife on a broad scale.”
Through Ageing, and Beyond: Gut Microbiota and Inflammatory Status in Seniors and Centenarians (2010, background): “old) will reach 2 billion by 2050 [56].”
Behavior Analysis and Environmental Protection: Accomplishments and Potential for More (2004, background): “This projected increase of 2.6 billion people is more than the entire population of the world in 1950 (2.5 billion) ( Cohen, 2003 ).”
Policy and technological constraints to implementation of greenhouse gas mitigation options in agriculture (2007, background): “According to current projections, the global population may reach about 9 billion by 2050, an increase of about 50% over current levels (Lutz et al., 2001; Cohen, 2003).”
Effect of nutrient enrichment and elevated CO2 partial pressure on growth rate of Atlantic scleractinian coral Acropora cervicornis (2005, background): “…density, mean atmospheric temperatures and frequency of extreme weather events (such as hurricanes) are expected to result in increased coastal runoff and nutrient import into the coastal zone (Landsea 2000a,b, Goldenberg et al. 2001, Houghton et al. 2002, Cohen 2003, Karl & Trenberth 2003).”
Having a creative day: understanding entrepreneurs’ daily idea generation through a recovery lens (2018, background): “tivity, help us to understand how aging populations (of entrepreneurs) especially in developed countries (Cohen, 2003) may impact entrepreneurial activities and performance (Lévesque and Minniti, 2006).”
Focus on opportunities as a mediator of the relationship between business owners' age and venture growth (2012, positive): “In addition, population aging in most Western countries (Cohen, 2003) and some developing countries (e.g., China; Shrestha, 2000) is assumed to have signi ﬁ cant effects on entrepreneurial activities over the next decades (Bönte et al., 2007; Shane, 1996).”
Sensitivity of flowering plant gametophytes to temperature fluctuations (2011, background): “First, although technological progress during the last century has pushed yields close to their maximum potential in many species, it has barely kept pace with population growth, which is expected to raise up by 2 to 4 billions by 2050 (Cohen, 2003; Trewavas, 2002).”
Principles of Conservation Biology: Recommended Guidelines for Conservation Literacy from the Education Committee of the Society forConservation Biology * (2004, background): “(3) All contemporary human impacts are amplified exponentially by the current growth rate of the human population; more people live now than ever before and the population is almost certainly committed to an increase over the next 50 years (Cohen 2003).”
Divergent responses of sympatric species to livestock encroachment at fine spatiotemporal scales (2017, background): “With the increase in the global human population and industrialization of human societies, competition between people and wildlife for limited resources such as space has become increasingly intense (Cohen, 2003; Imhoff et al., 2004; Liu et al., 2016a).”
Bioactive protein hydrolysates in the functional food ingredient industry: Overcoming current challenges (2017, background): “The human population is predicted to grow by two to four billion people by 2050.((1)) This expanded population is expected to consume twice as much animal protein than con-”
Cooperative breeding and its significance to the demographic success of humans. (2010, background): “The reduction of completed family size to approximately two children means that in both the current and the immediately previous generation, siblings, aunts, and uncles are in short supply (Cohen 2003).”
