Interestingly, although Whatman #1 and #598 provided comparable overall surface real-estate (as compared by peak activity rates, Figure 11A), the former had the better colonization potential as shown by the faster biofilm development rate.
The intrinsic rate of natural increase was highest for aphids at 1050 ppm CO2, because of their faster development, high daily rate of progeny production, and higher survivorship.
Embryonic cannibalism may favor faster growth rates or "the precocious development of eyes and teeth," the team writes, "which enhances their ability to locate and consume their siblings".
Population abundance and dynamics of an insect pest is dependent on its important ecological fitness parameters such as higher survival rate, faster development, and increased body size.
Indeed, HPV 16 is known to have a higher oncogenic capacity than the other known high-risk types [ 29], with implications for natural history (faster development and higher persistence rate) and management [ 30].
China has very fast growth rate in recent years and a great development plan [4].
"Insects, due to the changing climatic condition, become more active and their development rate is faster thus causing more outbreaks, which weaken the cedar tree making them more susceptible to other diseases and/or insects, which will ultimately kill the trees.
Very similar to our findings, in a system very comparable to our grayling system, Hendry et al. [ 29] found that development rate was fastest for progeny of late spawning sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) demes in Lake Washington.
As ambitious as this statement may sound, Rwanda has proved to be successful in implementing community-orientated policies that have improved its development rate -- one of the fastest in Africa.
By contrast, FGFR-2 IIIc expression correlates with faster development of liver metastasis after surgery, and increased proliferation rates and invasion of the cancer.
