Abstract

Purpose

A recent study has found that Polish territories with history of forced population displacement exhibit a faster life history compared to other Polish territories. Whether the spatial overlap between historical forced population displacement and faster life history represents a common pattern or merely an isolated phenomenon remains to be seen. Czechia provides an avenue to test this, since its borderlands (specifically the so-called Sudetenland) were mainly inhabited by a German-speaking population who were forcefully displaced post-WWII.

Methods

Differences in life history speed amongst Czech districts were estimated based on multiple life history indicators via a factor analysis.

Results

Faster life history for Sudetenland is confirmed, a pattern consistent across numerous life history indicators.

Conclusion

The spatial overlap between fast life history and population displacement (herein dubbed the r-displacement distribution) might be contingent on stable socioeconomic environment, potentially limiting its generality beyond socioeconomically developed societies. Further replications of r-displacement distribution might be needed to confirm its generality.

捷克历史上的人口迁移与更快的生命历程有关

目的最近的一项研究发现，与波兰其他地区相比，有过人口被迫迁移历史的波兰地区表现出更快的生活史。历史上强迫人口迁移与更快的生命史之间的空间重叠是一种常见模式，还是仅仅是一种孤立现象，还有待观察。捷克提供了一个检验这一问题的途径，因为其边境地区（特别是所谓的苏台德地区）主要居住着二战后被迫流离失所的德语人口。结论快速生活史与人口迁移之间的空间重叠（此处称为 r 迁移分布）可能取决于稳定的社会经济环境，这可能会限制其在社会经济发达社会之外的普遍性。要证实 r 位移分布的普遍性，可能还需要进一步的重复研究。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
