Sentence examples for maturation length from inspiring English sources

Different authors have variously reported the birth length at between 10 and, and the maturation length at between 20 and, with females usually maturing at a slightly larger size than males.

Similarly, when growth parameters are fixed and maturation parameters are heritable, fixed growth parameters exert selection (albeit relatively weak) on genetically determined maturation length thresholds.

Because an evolutionary change in the slope or intercept may affect maturation length at all ages, this introduces correlations between the maturation probabilities at different ages.

In the nonevolving populations, however, (i) average maturation length at the end of the fishing period lies below its preharvest value even though individuals grow faster during the fishing period and (ii) average maturation length increases during the early phase of recovery even though growth rates go down concomitantly.

Our simulations suggest that when size at maturation is fixed and growth rates are partially genetically determined, the maturation length threshold has potentially strong influence on the genetic component of growth.

For example, the decline of age-specific maturation length for North Atlantic cod was about 10 cm in 7 years, representing about 3% change per year (Olsen et al. 2004).

Cap age and speed of younger cap maturation, lengths and mode (consecutive or synchronous) of spore production and maturation periods (Kües and Navarro-Gonzaléz 2015; Halbwachs and Bässler 2015) might also be needed to be considered on individual species level as parameters of potential influence on spore harvests.

Third, we find that phenotypic values of emergent life-history traits – age and size at maturation, length-at-age and GSI-at-age – partly recover thanks to phenotypic compensation (Fig. S1).

The phenotypic dynamics of emergent life-history traits (age and size at maturation, length-at-age, and GSI-at-age) follow from the dynamics of the five genetically coded traits in combination with the demographic effects of fishing (Figs S1 and S2).

Genetic divergence between populations has been detected within a single rearing lake (Varnavskaya et al. 1994; Burger et al. 1997) and heritable phenotypic traits such as age-at-maturation, length, and body depth at length differ among sockeye salmon populations according to spawning habitat (Blair et al. 1993; Wood 1995; Quinn et al. 2001).

Rates of phenotypic change were calculated for two traditional maturation indices (length and age at 50% maturity), as well as for probabilistic maturation reaction norms (PMRNs).
