If your dog licks you in the face every day, how can you be objective?" Westminster judges commonly have breeding experience and deep connections within their breeds, the Westminster show chairman Tom Bradley said.
In a narrative rich with vivid anecdotes derived from interviews with primatologists, from her own experience breeding cotton-top tamarin monkeys for over thirty years, and from her clinical psychology practice, Smith describes the thousand and one ways that primate mothers, fathers, grandparents, siblings, and even babysitters care for their offspring, from infancy through young adulthood.
Breeding success of C. aurntiirostris and T. icterocephala in deforested habitats was not different than in forest remnants, where T. assimilis experienced reduced breeding success.
These results combined with the observed negative population trend (βB) in laying date in our data suggested that changes in density a female will experience across breeding seasons will not affect her plastic response (i.e. not act as an environmental cue for timing of breeding) and that all females living on average at higher densities laid their eggs earlier (and vice versa).
The hotel hangs the beef but the main business, said Dave – a proud perfectionist with years of experience – is breeding formed Angus bulls of high value.
During his years in Rhinebeck, Mr. Maguire greatly enjoyed his experience with breeding, raising and racing thoroughbred horses, among them General Obligation and Limited Obligation, and attended with enthusiasm when they competed at Belmont, Aqueduct, and Saratoga.
She and her husband Brian had only had experience of breeding birds and whippets before entering the elite world of horseracing.
While it is widely expected that such extreme deformities should decrease the viability of affected flies, this has not been our experience in breeding Hsp90 buffered abnormalities generally [1], and no viability effects specific to the dfe trait were detected here.
The results imply that tall wetland vegetation is a long-term, effective environmental cue and that a preference for territories in which this type of landcover prevails has evolved into a rigid behavioral mechanism, supplemented by short-term individual experiences of breeding failure.
The sedge warbler is well known for its very strong sexual selection (Buchanan and Catchpole 1997; Marshall et al. 2003); in other species, where selection related to mating and recruitment may not operate so strongly, the experience of breeding failure may be much more important.
