Nothing ever penetrates her armour of breeding and social finesse – so I have no idea what, if anything, troubles her.
Thomas is in love with Kit but, constrained by breeding and social expectation, is seeking a wife; their playlong faceoff -- between one man's passion and ultimate self-immolation and the other's stifling propriety -- establishes the play's thematic conflict.
This study is particularly important for making decisions regarding experimental design when breeding for social genetic effects in aquaculture.
Nomad goat pastoralists in Baft are more commercially oriented than nomads in other parts of Iran, as cashmere, milk and meat are given more priority for production than animal breeding and social status (Table 7).
Our observations on territoriality, breeding biology, social interactions, and foraging behavior may contribute to a better understanding of the needs of this species and to justify adapted conservation actions (Sutherland 1998).
The project then figured out where the most trusting, pro-social children lived: which neighborhoods, in other words, seemed to be breeding the most social capital.
The problem is that schools can also be breeding grounds for social comparisons that ruin self-esteem as much as they encourage it.
He also led a recent crackdown on billiards halls and coffee shops, which he described as breeding grounds "of social and ethical crimes".
Over the past few years, Jacobus Boomsma, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Copenhagen, has argued that strict monogamous behavior, such as an ant queen mating for life, spurred the evolution of cooperative breeding in some social insects.
Comparative studies of breeding behaviour and social interactions in different density settings, and under different historic and present hunting regimes, may provide further insights into the ecology of orangutans under optimal ecological conditions.
