Based on the natal emergence date (i.e. when juveniles left the natal burrow for the first time), we defined three post-emergence intervals for each individual.
One of the latest proposed hypotheses accounting for TSD in reptiles is based on female natal philopatry [ 16, 25].
A Microsoft Research team has managed to forecast which new mothers might develop extreme changes in behaviour and mood, all based on pre-natal and early post-natal Twitter usage.
A step-wise algorithm based on post-natal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was described to facilitate the diagnostic process, which would be challenging to apply in prenatal ultrasound given technical and patient related limitations.
Inter-annual climate variability – based on maternal and natal effects – explained an additional 4.2% of variance in body length (F = 4.7, df = 2, 63, p <0.001).
Observations suggest that winged males indeed time the dispersal from their natal nests based on the availability of female sexuals (S. Cremer, unpubl.; own observation).
Although not all males and females disperse, female gorillas displayed an isolation-by-distance pattern among groups and a signal of dispersal at short distances from their natal group based on spatial autocorrelation analyses.
The necessary sample size of approximately 220 individuals was estimated according to the following parameter: prevalence of an asymptomatic infection rate of 9%, based on a study conducted in Natal {[ 19] #37}, a VL endemic area {[ 26] #254}.
Here, we examine the effects of female baboons condition on birth sex ratios and post-natal investment, based on visual assessments of maternal body condition.
Our hypothesis that the socioeconomic time trend of smoking at first ante-natal visit based on the stage of the world wide tobacco epidemic model of the country of origin of the immigrant women was not supported by our analyses.
