Sentence examples for estimates of mating from inspiring English sources

Estimates of mating system parameters were remarkably consistent across all populations of A. woodmaniorum and did not vary with population parameters of size and isolation, providing further support for a self-incompatible mating system.

The primary goal of this project was to identify specific characteristics of microsatellites that may aid researchers in choosing effective markers for applications requiring genetic variation, such as quantifying population genetic structure and diversity, estimates of mating systems, and paternity analysis.

We chose to combine observational field data and molecular parentage analyses for our study to overcome the logistic constraints on gaining unbiased estimates of mating and reproductive success from field observations alone.

The majority of studies to date have used field or laboratory estimates of mating rates at different morph frequencies to investigate the maintenance of female-limited polymorphisms in damselflies [ 19- 22].

Barbary macaques, like other primate species (Alberts et al. 2003; Rodriguez-Llanes et al. 2009), appear to show intraspecific variation in the association between male dominance rank and estimates of mating or reproductive success (cf. Table  1), but the reasons for this variance are poorly understood.

An indirect way to test the PoA model is to look for the presence of a relationship between male dominance rank and some estimate of mating or reproductive success.

Importantly, our methodology does not seem to bias the estimation of mating preferences since estimated preferences for BMI are qualitatively similar to preferences reported in other studies that rely on other protocols [e.g. 21], [46].

However, we know from previous work [22] that the number of observations per male influences estimates of mate acquisition (number of females seen courting), and that this effect is modified by UV reduced signaling.

The ANCOVA results estimating the influence of mating system and female promiscuity on primate brain size and testis size were supported by informal visual comparisons of residuals from least-squares regressions of testis and brain weights on body mass (Fig. 1).

Given the relatively low success in assignment of maternity, we could not confidently estimate the distribution of mating success of females.

To estimate the effect of mating status and time post infection on number of CFUs, colony count data was natural log transformed.
