There are two commonly considered categories of mate sampling strategies: relative and absolute (also called threshold; [ 33– 33]).
For risk factor analyses, piggeries were considered "positive" for the closest reported contact category and all other more distant categories, e.g., piggeries with evidence of mating were also considered "positive" for the presence of wild boar around the enclosure and for wild boar intrusions, even if these contacts were not directly observed.
Nor were there any significant differences in territory shift distance between categories of interseasonal change in mating or nesting success, although both Fig. 4a c and a simple comparison of distance in relation to success categories (Table 2) indicate that previous-season failure increased the territory shift distance.
Assembly methods by a robot are divided into two categories by focusing on a process of mating: a passive assembly method and an active assembly method.
The pattern of mating across these 4 categories (2 sizes × 2 media) was nonrandom (χ = 50.6, df = 7, P < 0.001).
In this paper, we assessed the correct classification rate in one commonly used estimation of pairwise categories of relatedness in three different mating systems (monogamy, polygyny, and promiscuity) and one or three overlapping generations (Table 1) as a function of the number (and kind) of loci.
He writes specifically of the aesthetic categories required to explain why birds sing outside of mating season and when territory is not threatened two occasions for bird song that are crucial to the behaviorists' account.
The simulation was run 10,000 times, after which the categories were summed across replicates to obtain the expected distribution of mating success under random mating.
To investigate if the timing of mating of young/older males and high-ranking/lower-ranking males was correlated with the timing of matings of yearling females or older females, we calculated, for each category, the mean number of individuals mating each day of the rut.
There is partial concordance between GO categories between the transcript profiles of young flies before and after mating and young and aged virgin flies, indicating that some biological processes undergo specific post-mating or aging-related changes in transcript abundance levels, whereas others reflect post-mating changes that would occur later in the lifespan in the absence of mating.
