Sentence examples for mated to more from inspiring English sources

Thus, based on the DAH, we predicted that females mated to more UV-reflective and or polygynous males would deposit more antimicrobial proteins in their eggs.

Therefore, females might invest more in current reproduction when mated to more attractive partners (the differential allocation hypothesis, DAH; Burley 1986).

The lack of matching female genotypes suggests that the local breeding population of G. flavescens at this site is quite large, such that the chance of encountering the same female mated to more than one male is low.

Consistent with our second hypothesis, we found that females produced eggs with higher concentrations of lysozyme (although not ovotransferrin or avidin) when mated to more attractive (more UV-reflective) males.

For each cow, the top mating was selected with respect to g ^ or u ^, with the restriction that a single bull was not mated to more than 200 cows.

Females increased the amount of lysozyme they transferred to their eggs when mated to a more attractive male (higher UV chroma) and variation of lysozyme and avidin among clutches was significant (Table  1; Figs.  1 and 2).

We also found that females mated to P males produced more sons than those mated to NP males, though this bias in offspring sex-ratio could have been due to maternal or paternal effects.

However, females mated to hybrid males produced significantly more larvae than those mated to inbred males (two-way ANOVA: male quality: F1,58 = 7.71, P < 0.001; female strain: F1,58 = 2.75, P = 0.103).

The reduction in egg number was more apparent when we measured female production across her lifespan, as differences in egg production between females mated to conspecifics and those mated to heterospecifics were more apparent later in life.

Changes in the expression of these visual perception genes mirrors the transition from photophilic behaviour observed in virgin queens that engage in mating flights, to more photophobic behaviour in mated queens confined within the nest.

You should also form a partnership with at least one more band mate to write more diverse songs.
