What does Yehoshua make of this Israeli demand for fecundity (driven, in part, by a post-Holocaust urge to create Jewish life)?
h2 estimations were generally higher in juveniles than in adults and h2 for fecundity was not significantly different from zero.
Results presented in Table 3 showed that the phenotypic variance was higher than the genotypic one in the control line for fecundity trait and was 1019.09 and 483.48, respectively.
Fitting the data with quadratic and Weibull functions, which included a parameter for hormesis, showed that the magnitude of the hormetic effect was 31.31% for fecundity and 32.21% for JH III levels.
Results in Table 1 and Figs. 1, 2 and 3, for fecundity improvement in lines within inbreeding program of the predator, showed that the length of female increased significantly from 4.51 mm in Po to 4.90 mm in F3, while its height was stabilized until the end of F12, with insignificant differences.
Selection for fecundity in synthetic polyploids is associated with generation-by-generation increased fertility [32].
For fecundity measurements, eggs were counted after the flies had been in the vials for between 18 and 24 h.
Moreover, lipid energy reserves 3 4 months prior to spawning are the best proxy for fecundity [24].
These calculations suggest that the heterozygote advantage for fecundity conferred by BMP15 has some dependence on environmental conditions.
We investigated the flower size number trade-off and its implications for fecundity in a sample of tree species from the Dipterocarpaceae on Borneo.
Model selection results suggested that the best multiple regression model for fecundity included 3 variables: female aggression, male aggression, and male territory size (Tables 2 & S1).
