Specifically, threshold sizes for reproduction were much higher and reproductive investment relative to size significantly lower in the selected progenies just after a single artificial selection event.
While the invasive B biotype can achieve a much higher rate of reproduction on virus-infected plants than on healthy plants, the indigenous whitefly can not.
Furthermore females have a much higher investment in reproduction than males, as egg production is much more energy consuming than the production of sperm [ 46].
In this case, for example, the appellants sold the canvas-backed reproductions of the respondent's works at a much higher price than the paper-backed reproductions.
Even though the USA absorbed less than 4%% of the entire volume of the trans-Atlantic trade, the local reproduction rate was much higher than elsewhere so that the slave population, unlike in the rest of the Americas, expanded.
It can be seen from Figs. 2b and 2d that groups can fulfil this condition when the reproduction threshold is much higher than the mean individual foraging success, when variance in foraging success is small, or when the half saturation constant (h) of the fitness function is large.
(That is some time after its neighbour, Macau, which has a higher reproduction rate, but a much smaller population).
In other systems, however, M and the survival cost of reproduction can sometimes be much higher; in fisheries stock assessments, the overall rate of natural mortality is often assumed to be 0.2 and estimates of the survival cost of reproduction can easily be much higher than what was assumed here.
General Naumann said that Mr. Sainovic "expressed his concern that the reproduction rate of the Kosovo Albanians was much higher than of the Serbs".
General Naumann said that Mr. Sainovic "expressed his concern that the reproduction rate of the Kosovo Albanians was much higher than of the Serbs". Both he and Mr. Milosevic, the general said, had stated that a permanent solution to decrease the dominant ethnic Albanian population would come in the spring of 1999.
