The rains have created breeding grounds far and wide.
Winds do carry birds out of their way but they do not generallly establish a breeding population far beyond their usual range.
Ten years after that, he was already in charge of a racing and breeding empire far in advance of anything that Joel and his fellow owner-breeders could ever have hoped – or wished – to achieve.
Smith, the child of a former cattle rancher who then went to work in breeding not far from the Missouri campus, was 6-foot-5 and 265 pounds in college, massive from his obsessive workouts.
These plans are the extension of a weak and outdated recovery plan (approved by the federal government in 1987) that requires each state to maintain only 100 wolves and 10 breeding pairs — far below what's necessary to guarantee genetically healthy populations.
The rail's range and numbers are increasing in Morocco, with breeding as far south as Oued Massa.
White storks were probably aided by human activities during the Middle Ages as woodland was cleared and new pastures and farmland were created, and they were found across much of Europe, breeding as far north as Sweden.
When comparing migrant peregrines from Padre Island with samples collected on breeding territories, far fewer pairwise FST and Dest comparisons were significant with those made with F. p. tundrius (23% and 0% out of 35 comparisons, respectively) than with anatum samples (71% and 14% out of 28 comparisons, respectively; Table S1).
As discussed previously, in all applications of SEM in animal breeding so far, the causal structure was assumed known or just a few putative structures were compared.
While a similar relationship is expected for migration time, not least because of the expected link between migration and breeding phenologies, far fewer studies have quantified selection on migration time due to the much higher effort required to record individual data on migration time as well as reproductive success and survival.
