Sentence examples for availability of mating from inspiring English sources

Actual or realized distributions may differ from preferential ones by incorporating supply constraints imposed by the differing sizes of the populations and the limited availability of mating partners; preferential distribution patterns thus represent distributions as they would occur in the absence of such constraints.

These three models also included as a covariate the total number of matings scored on each day of the rut to control for between-day variation in the availability of mating partners in our population.

In this study, we observed the nest-leaving behaviour of winged males under different conditions and found that they adaptively adjust the timing of their dispersal to the availability of mating partners, as well as the presence, and even the type of competitors in their natal nests.

Moreover, they adjust the timing of dispersal from the nest both to the availability of mating partners in the nest and the presence of ergatoid fighter males [ 33].

The breeding season can be divided into two main periods according to the availability of mating opportunities: the prerut, which begins when all males have cleaned the velvet from their antlers and ends on the day before the first mating, and the rut, which is the period between the days on which the first and last matings occur [ 26].

The availability of mating competent T. reesei QM6a derived strains now allows, as shown here, crossing of strains from relevant lineages of T. reesei to combine industrially important genetic traits, and thus to include strain crossing in industrial strain improvement programs.

Particularly in mixed-mating trees, the selfing rate is likely to increase as the availability of mates and pollinators decreases in small, fragmented populations [ 2, 7, 16].

Instead SOAPdenovo's performance improves for E.coli thanks to the availability of mate-pair information.

Sexual selection is largely driven by the availability of mates.

Therefore the "availability of mates" is unlikely to explain the pattern of size-assortative mating detected in our field observations.
