The intensive use of NC, represented by a large maturity value, keeps duplicates of a lost packet in the network and the number of undecodable packets degenerate.
Fossils of temnospondyls like Metoposaurus and Cheliderpeton show that individuals grew larger past maturity.
Thus lips get proportionally larger with maturity, age or size.
This can result in increased individual growth rates, and associated plastic changes in life history traits, such as earlier maturation, larger size at maturity, and increased fecundity (e.g., Cardinale and Modin 1999; Cassoff et al. 2007; Walsh and Reznick 2008).
However, woody species are too large at maturity and do not have short enough life cycles for general use in genetic experiments.
For the non-avian reptile sample, as well as some of the largest mammals, maturity was established by verifying that the body mass of the measured specimen is similar to published reports of average body masses for that species (for example, [ 84, 110- 112]).
They have large geographic ranges, early reproductive maturity, large litter sizes, and shorter gestation periods.
Greece has large upcoming maturities in July 2017, with €2.3bn owed to private-sector bondholders and €3.9bn to the European Central Bank.
In the larger species, sexual maturity comes later, after four or five years or more.
But he acknowledged that the company had not done the critical experiments to determine whether the fish were larger at sexual maturity or had a mating advantage.
