Sentence examples for mating frequencies in from inspiring English sources

Here, we study mating frequencies in the wild and experimentally assess innate male preferences and learning of male preferences in I. elegans to investigate the extent of ontogenetic changes in male mate preferences during development.

Previous studies investigating morph and morph specific mating frequencies in the damselfly Ischnura elegans suggest that male mating harassment may promote the maintenance of this sexual mating polymorphism in females through density- and frequency-dependent processes [ 19- 22].

Accumulated female mating frequencies in the two treatments (virgin female paired either with a mated or virgin male) during the first 10-day period and the entire 30-day period (which is close to the mean longevity of mated females) were calculated, respectively.

Our field estimates of the lower mating frequencies in androchrome females were corroborated by our molecular analyses of sperm in females that were caught while copulating.

For example, it was not possible to find significant differences between the observed and expected mating frequencies in the androchrome females from Louro (pooled across years) when we only based our analyses on morph and mating frequencies (Table  1).

We conclude that there is likely a sexual conflict over mating frequency in the high-density species (L. saxatilis) owing to females most likely being less sperm-limited in this species.

Furthermore, we hypothesize that the difference in male behaviour between L. littorea and L. saxatilis is a consequence of a potentially more pronounced sexual conflict over mating frequency in the latter species, owing to its much higher density and prolonged mating-season.

Infection with N. whitei has been found to decrease mating frequency in T. castaneum[ 15].

We estimated that <1% of the segregants were h + cells, based on quantitations of mating frequency in the mutant pool.

The strongest evidence for this hypothesis come from experimental manipulation of mating frequency in bees [ 95, 96].

First, we measured the correlation of natural sperm depletion and mating frequency in N2 and HW hermaphrodites.
