(2010) Little is known about the role of land inheritance in the link between land availability and fertility.

(2004) Asians in the Americas date back to the arrival of Chinese and Filipino crews of the galleon trade between Manila and Acapulco starting in the 16th century. Many of these sailors jumped ship and migrated north and east to the United States. Some established communities along the Gulf of Mexico, such as the Louisiana Manilamen, which produced over 10 generations of Filipino-American descendants.
