All random effects were excluded except for the residual and 'individual' for the litter size.
EXCEPT for discarded flyers littering the city streets, it is hard to tell that this is election season.
Gestation length, male:female ratio, mean birthweight and litter size were all unaffected, except for increased litter size in the 10 μg/kg LPS group (P = 0.046) (Table 1).
Except for one control litter, all litters survived to PND6.
Multiplex PCR for toxin ExhA, B, C and D on 5 S. hyicus-like colonies from each animal verified that toxin positive bacteria were present on all animals except for one litter, which confirmed that EE was the disease causing the symptoms of the affected animals.
At this time, which corresponded to P0 of the LE litter (0.3 ± 0.2), LE litters were culled to seven LE pups except for one litter which had only three LE pups.
The subset of 24 species used in our phylogenetic analyses also showed no significant correlation between body mass and any of the breeding variables, except for sexual maturity (litter size: r24 = −0.151, P = 0.481; number of nipples: r21 = 0.094, P = 0.678; gestation period: r22 = 0.281, P = 0.205; weaning period: r21 = 0.257, P = 0.261; sexual maturity: r20 = 0.439, P = 0.046).
The measured value for the weight of the litter divided by the number of pups in the litter gave the average litter bodyweight (ALBW).
All litters were later left undisturbed except for the routine cleaning of the cages until P21 when litters were weaned and classified according to sex.
Everything in the room is in its place, except for on the desk, littered with eyeliner, pens and lipstick.
