The width will be used to measure the top and bottom frames, and the height will be used to measure the individual studs.
The dessert billed as blueberry cobbler, which was actually an individual cake studded with berries, was another pleasant finale.
In contrast, there was no evidence that productivity (a composite measure of the fecundity and fertility of the parents, and the larval and early adult survivorship of their resulting offspring) differed between individuals from the stud and dud treatments.
According to our results, individuals with genomes deriving from stud males outperformed individuals with genomes derived from dud males almost exclusively in a single fitness component, male mating success, suggesting that the only indirect benefit to a female in this population of mating with a stud male may arise via an increase in the mating success of her male descendants.
Even if the effects of some rare variants can be measured, assessing the significance of the millions that stud each individual's genome will be challenging.
Within each region, horses were selected based on availability due to previous contact to individual horse owners, horse studs and clinical veterinary practices.
Exposure of recently mated laboratory females to LMW in urine constituents (< 12-14 kDa) from an unfamiliar strain male blocks pregnancy [ 29, 55]; importantly, though, the <span class="lh">individual scent of the familiar stud male is learned during a brief sensitive period after mating and has no such inhibitory effect [ 56].
Fertility parameters are prone to be influenced by factors such as stud, management and individuals.
Sources of variation include the effects of treatment (stud vs. dud ancestry), individual age (three vs. 15 days post-emergence), and their interaction.
Differences in productivity were tested using a general linear model (ANOVA) with the productivity count of individual vials as replicates and treatment (stud vs. dud), parent's age (3 vs. 15 days old), and their interaction as fixed effects.
