Sentence examples for breeding parameters from inspiring English sources

We show that robustly designed cameras can operate over long periods and provide reliable data on key breeding parameters such as phenology and breeding success using the Adélie penguin as a case study.

The sensitivity of population growth rate to breeding parameters is lower than to adult survival.

Indeed, none of the breeding parameters significantly differ between the Australian old endemics and their closest relatives outside Sahul (Kruskal-Wallis test; χ21≤2.6, P≥0.11 for all breeding parameters).

The first hypothesis is that breeding parameters are associated with environmental differences across Australia, and that the differences in the geographic distributions of species from the colonization stages account for their variation in breeding parameters.

These results indicate that no significant differences in breeding parameters among colonization stages remained after accounting for phylogenetic variation.

Consequently, by linking breeding parameters and climatic variables, we also tested for the effect of habitat/eco-region.

To address this issue we estimated ancestral breeding parameter states at nodes on the phylogeny representing (1) the ancestral state at the root of Murinae, (2) the ancestral state outside Sahul, (3) the ancestral state at the root of the colonization of Australia, and (4) the ancestral state of a derived clade that evolved within Australia after colonization (Fig. 1; Table 1).

Reproduction parameters (breeding season, age at puberty, fecundity and fertility) of the foxes were examined under experimental conditions, and new techniques to optimize fox breeding were assessed.

Note that the estimates of linear combinations we obtain here take into account dependencies and uncertainties of breeding values and parameters.

The objective was to investigate the effects of genetic parameters, breeding goal, number of progeny per sire and breeding scheme on selection responses in mean and variance when applying index selection.

A second problem is that, in our system, predation only affected birds' breeding output – a parameter with little impact on the long-term population growth.
