The natural infection status (naturally uninfected vs. cured) did not correlate with a genotype's competitive success, neither in competition against a tester genotype (Fig. 2 & 3) nor in direct competition between the genotypes (Fig. 4).
The aim of this experiment was to investigate sperm competitive success of SR and ST males in competition with one another.
The sex-independent effect of body size on competitive success is consistent with a role of territorial competition in the evolution of sexually monomorphic body size in the Tropheus lineage.
The second analysis, considering competition on the Victo cultivar, showed that the mean competitive success of southern isolates was significantly higher in the southern than in the northern location (F1,13 = 7.66, P = 0.016; Fig. 3).
To investigate possible neuroendocrine mechanisms contributing to this difference in competitive success, we measured circulating corticosterone (CORT) concentration 15 min after competition (∼30 min after the onset of competition testing).
What Mr. Obama stepped around is the reality of American competition today — that innovation, education and infrastructure are necessary ingredients for global competitive success, but no guarantee.
Since athletes commonly perform intensive physical training or competitions on consecutive days, facilitation of recovery process is important to maximize competitive success and to prevent excessive fatigue [1].
Competitive success in sport mostly comes down to resources.
