Females at this site lay one clutch of approximately 4 15 eggs per year and more polyandrous females have a reduced risk of having developmentally compromised ('malformed') offspring [18].
Susceptible cattle may suffer an acute infection and recover completely, but they may also transmit the virus vertically, producing immunologically compromised carrier offspring that develop mucosal disease later in life.
For example, high growth rates in the face of large and unpredictable variations in provisioning rates, or meals sizes, may compromise an offspring's ability to maintain itself above starvation levels during periods of low provisioning [18].
The fertility potential of nanoselected spermatozoa was not compromised, and produced offspring showed growth rates and weight gains at market that were comparable to their counterparts born from control spermatozoa (P>0.05).
The first of these hypotheses is difficult to reconcile with our previous finding that female E. solidaginis discriminate against emission-exposed plants in the field, which strongly suggests that the quality of these plants as hosts for fly offspring was compromised rather than enhanced [ 15].
Male pycnogonids have evolved the ability to carry large numbers of offspring, but it is not known, for instance, whether offspring survivorship is compromised by increased crowding.
Charlie Chaplin's youngest child was born when he was 74 but, says Dr Simon Fishel, founder of Care fertility: "There is evidence that sperm deteriorates and the offspring can be compromised".
Mothers' inherent and intrinsic right to nurture and protect their offspring has been compromised by criminal justice policies of ignorance and punitive aggression.
This mechanism seems to ensure that total number of offspring is not compromised by the long pregnancy duration which is also about twice as long compared to other rodents of similar size.
For example, genotypes that produce greater numbers of offspring often compromise their investment into each individual offspring [ 27].
