The selection process for this procedure could include trees that represent all height categories throughout the height range of the surviving population, since height of this taxon is a surrogate for age, and conserving a population of various age classes may maximize genetic structure of the protected population.
In order to calculate the vertical distance travelled, we first used the centre of each height category as an estimate for the height at which the male was at each minute-scan point (e.g. 7.5 m for category 2 or 12.5 m for category 3).
In each height category, weight had a significant inverse association with menarcheal age (Ptrend<0.001; Table 3), and similarly within each weight category, height had an inverse association (Ptrend<0.001).
The findings were even more distinct when the lowest height category (<170 cm) was set as a reference in the logistic regression model.
Shetland pony mares were matched on withers height category, coat colour, location and sire.
Initially, more plants of the smallest height category were found in open ground than with either dominant species.
In practice, WHO recommendations mean a dose of the divisible 600 mg praziquantel tablet is to be given per body height category (Table 1).
According to children's height, we divided them into three groups: short stature, normal short and normal group, then compared the score of scales by the height category.
As the median height of German males aged 18 40 years currently ranges from 176 to 179 cm, the height category 175 179 cm was defined as the reference group.
In Shetland pony mares, confounding of IBH with relevant effects such as region and withers height category was negligible, since the analysis revealed no significant association between IBH and these effects.
Fixed effects of withers height category, coat colour, sex, import from Iceland, veterinarian and month and year of scoring, and the covariate of age of the animal were tested for significance.
