The phrase "a range of mating" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing various types or methods of mating, often in biological or ecological discussions.
Example: "The study focused on a range of mating strategies observed in different species of birds."
Alternatives: "a variety of mating" or "multiple mating options".
Honey bees represent an excellent model system in which to address these questions because they exhibit a range of "mating states," with two extremes (virgins and egg-laying, mated queens) that differ dramatically in their behavior, pheromone profiles, and physiology.
Inbreeding depression has been measured for a wide variety of species possessing a range of mating systems [ 1- 8].
In order to capture a deeper understanding of the forces contributing to the evolution of reproductive systems, here we test the relative importance of a range of mating and sperm traits on siring success with a diverse set of distinct genetic backgrounds.
The Nephilid spiders, which show a broad range of mating systems and terminal investment behaviors, make an ideal group for this comparative study.
Although this collection of species has a broad range of mating systems and population histories, soybean represents an extreme case of inbreeding (Hyten et al. 2006; Chung et al. 2013).
Examining knowledge, language, thinking, feeling and values, Prinz shows that people from different cultures perceive differently, are driven to, and suffer, mental illness in various ways, and find a wide range of mating partners attractive, until globalised values arrive to standardise taste.
A wide range of mating systems has evolved in sexually reproducing animals [ 1, 2].
Male-to-male variation in sperm morphology has been documented in many species spanning a wide range of mating systems [ 10, 11].
A single-locus model of reinforcement of genetic coherence previously suggested by the present authors ([ 7]) allowed for a complete analysis covering a much wider range of mating systems.
Striking in our natural isolate data is the observation that strains carrying very similar haplotypes exhibited the full range of mating frequency.
The precise form of connected or disconnected models used for linkage analysis depends on the mating design used to construct inter-related mapping families, and previous multiple family mapping studies have investigated a wide range of mating schemes (Wu and Jannink, 2004; Blanc et al., 2006; Verhoeven et al., 2006; Coles et al., 2010; Steinhoff et al., 2011).
