Sentence examples for mean egg weight from inspiring English sources

The mean egg weight was highest for the S5*D5 cross, i.e. 62.9 g and lowest for S1*D3, i.e. 59.9 g.

There was no difference between mating treatments with respect to female lifetime fecundity, mean egg weight, the total mass of eggs produced, or egg-laying rate (Table 1, Fig 2).

Across all females there was no relationship between female longevity and fecundity (F1,41 = 0.30, p > 0.58), mean egg weight (F1,41 = 0.004, p > 0.95), or between longevity and female size (F1,41 = 0.51, p > 0.48).

The age when the first egg was laid (AFEgg) and the number of eggs laid (NEgg) until week 24 were recorded as well as the mean egg weight (WEgg) calculated from eggs laid during weeks 12 and 13.

Mean egg weight was calculated taking the mean egg diameter value (2.3 mm) from Frost and Kipling (1967) assuming a spherical shape and a specific density of 1.0 g cm−3.

The effect of mating treatment on female lifetime fecundity, mean egg weight (mg), mass of eggs laid (mg), and oviposition rate (eggs per day) in either of the four egg laying periods, together with means ± SE for each variable per treatment.

In cases where visual inspection indicated a non-linear effect of density on mean egg mass weight, we added density as a second-order polynomial term and tested whether the reduced or the full model provided a better fit using partial F statistics [ 36].

Two Generalized Linear Models (GLM) were then used to test whether egg number, mean egg mass, relative weight loss by mothers and their interactions influenced the number and the mean weight of nymphs at hatching.

Here, we show that correcting egg number and mean egg mass by female weight at egg laying allowed the detection of negative associations between egg quantity and quality and between egg quantity and egg care.

A series of pairwise interactions among egg number, mean egg mass and female weight loss determined the number of hatched nymphs (Table  2A), a result supporting the entangled effects of maternal expenditure on egg care and egg production on nymph production.

Overall, there was no association between egg number, mean egg mass and the relative weight loss by mothers during the period of egg care (Table  1A).
