For our case studies we used individual data on (1) bill depth, (2) breeding season success, and (3) average reproductive intensity (ARI).
In most of these cases, sympatric species differ slightly in the modal depths of their breeding sites along sloping lake bottoms [ 54- 57], or differ otherwise in the background color of breeding sites [ 8].
Yet, multiple studies suggest that reptiles can respond behaviorally through nesting site choice, depth, and breeding time (Doody et al. 2006; Doody 2009; Refsnider and Janzen 2012).
An in depth understanding of mosquito breeding biology and factors regulating population sizes is fundamental for vector population control.
In October and November 2005, we studied a colony of N. caudopunctatus breeding at a depth of 12 14 m, occupying an area of approximately 50×30 m.
The collective body of knowledge for 24 flower crops (Part 2: Crop-specific Breeding and Genetics) represents the in-depth science and art of breeding technology available for bedding plants, flowering potted plants, cut flowers, and herbaceous perennials.
The results of this study may contribute to our understanding the molecular mechanism underlying the responses of bermudagrass to cold stress, and also provide important clues for further study and in-depth characterization of cold-resistance breeding candidate genes in bermudagrass.
In contrast, changes in breeding time and nest depth did not buffer an observed 1.6°C warming period for the lizard Bassiana duperreyi.
This combination of genetic, genomic, and phenotypic information and resources will be immediately useful to the plant breeding community and will significantly increase the depth, breadth, and rigor of genetic analyses that can be undertaken in rice.
Assuming the difference between the sum of all other activities and the total amount of time was spent in this depth interval, the total activity patterns from moult to breeding can be estimated (Fig. 9).
