It is hypothesised that enzootic pneumonia in fattening pigs is eventually complicated by PRRS, both reflecting endemic infections in the herd including a higher probability of vertical transmission of the pathogens from sows to their offspring, drives the farmer to the decision of vaccinating suckling pigs against M. hyopneumoniae and/or PRRSV.
Given that oxytocin produced in offspring drives bonding and attachment to the mother (Feldman et al. 2013; Olff et al.
The drive to attract a mate, make sure no one else gets near them, and have offspring has driven animals to get up to all sorts of trickery.
The predictability and fitness implications of high intra-brood variation in post-hatching offspring mortality driven primarily by hatching order (and therefore ovulation order) should strongly influence how mothers differentially tailor investment toward, allocate resources to, and manipulate sex of simultaneously dependent sibling eggs [11] [17].
In a correct targeting event, this DNA fragment is deleted; however, in a faulty targeting event its presence leads to the death of the undesired offspring when driven by a neuronal or ubiquitous Gal4 driver.
For the value buyer — including parents whose patronage allows their offspring to drive a new car — Kia's warranty is another comforting point.
Or do you let it go, secure in the knowledge that one day your offspring will drive their own AT-ATs through the snow fields of Klingon, at least on the holodeck.
The official, Zhang Weiqing, head of the National Population and Family Planning Commission, said 118 boys were born for every 100 girls in China in 2005, largely because of a preference for male offspring, which has driven many families to abort female fetuses under the one-child policy.
To elucidate whether the 453 placental DMPs initially identified between FGR and AGA offspring were primarily driven by differences in gestational age, we ran a linear model on all placental samples using gestational age as a continuous variable across the gestational age range (202 to 299 days).
In the case of manipulation, the evolutionary trajectories of offspring traits are indirectly driven through selection on alleles associated with maternal behavior (Craig 1979).
