Sentence examples for altered breeding from inspiring English sources

To assess exploration, we characterised the behaviour toward an experimentally altered breeding environment relative to a familiar breeding environment.

This variation has been related to exploration and risk taking, as singers from lower elevations also take higher risk in the presence of a potential predator and explore an altered breeding environment more boldly than singers from higher elevations.

In a field study of free-living male collared flycatchers, Ficedula albicollis, we characterised personality based on the exploration of an altered breeding environment, and based on the risk taken when a potential predator was approaching during a simulated territorial interaction.

Hereafter we used these residuals to reflect the degree of response to the altered environmental situation that is independent of activity, with high values indicating more explorative behaviours in the altered breeding opportunity than lower values.

And it's also bad news for the food supply: Smaller sizes and altered breeding schedules could decrease species' abundance, hinder their ability to recover from exploitation, and ripple through ecosystems by altering interactions with predators and competitors.

The strongest relationship was found for song post exposure, which indicated that males that sang at relatively low posts were explorative in the altered breeding environment test (Figure 1A).

With temperate climates, urban heat islands will extend the growing season, therefore altering breeding strategies of inhabiting species.

Consequently, examining the costs and benefits of altering breeding density and breeding intensity (e.g., 1 vs. 2 clutches) needs to be considered for the long-term success of this program.

Without knowledge about the molecular basis for the transgenerational inheritance or generational reprogramming of defined epigenetic risk factors that contribute to disease, it is difficult to design effective targeted therapeutics for humans or to knowledgably alter breeding programs for crops that will avoid the onset of a disease phenotype [ 28- 32].

This is despite evidence for widespread feminization of male fish in the studied rivers and previous evidence that feminization alters breeding capabilities [ 21, 26].

Grain filling was the only period altered by breeding, while no consistent effects on duration of vegetative and generative pre-anthesis phases and sub-phases were detected.
