The phrase "age of sexual maturity" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in discussions related to biology, reproduction, or development, particularly when referring to the age at which an organism is capable of reproduction.
Example: "The age of sexual maturity varies among different species, influencing their reproductive strategies."
Alternatives: "puberty age" or "reproductive maturity age".
There appears to be a strong relationship between age of sexual maturity and sex, with the vast majority of sexual mature precocious fish being male in O. mykiss (e.g., Sharpe et al. 2011) and other species of salmonid (e.g., Larsen et al. 2010).
The average age of sexual maturity in females is three years, whereas males become sexually mature at age four.
In Switzerland, anyone who works in the sex trade must be at least 16, the legal age of sexual maturity.
That is far below the age of sexual maturity, so most of the fish never get a chance to reproduce.
In the age treatment, all trees in a harvested stand at or below the age of sexual maturity were exempt from harvesting.
The high abundance of anchovies is determined more by their early age of sexual maturity than by their movements; similarly, the relatively high abundance in a restricted habitat of the Tanganyika sardines appears to stem from precocious breeding.
Other life history traits, such as parental care, length of breeding/growth season, developmental rate/time and ages of sexual maturity have also been explored in anurans [ 16- 19].
However, these results should be taken with caution, as the available number of age estimates of sexual maturity data in AnAge is still insufficient to draw robust conclusions (N between 32 34 and 2 3 for neobatrachians and non-neobatrachian males and females, respectively).
Therefore, neither the age at weaning, nor the age at attainment of sexual maturity appear to correlate with the observed cranial and mandibular shape changes between juveniles and adult in U. arctos.
Despite the earlier onset, the age of attainment of sexual maturity has not changed.
Higher prepubertal serum HCB and βHCH concentrations were associated with a later age at attainment of sexual maturity.
