A reproducer is an entity that multiplies with material overlap between parent and offspring, transferring mechanisms conferring the capacity to develop the capacity to reproduce (Griesemer 2000a, p. S361, 2000b, 2000c, see also the entry on replication Section 7).
Broods typically consisted of four offspring, with two offspring being transferred between a pair broods.
In poultry, maternal nutrition plays an important role in the performance and health of their progeny because the nutrients required by the developing offspring are transferred from the hens via the egg (Hamal et al., 2006).
All male offspring were weaned to the corn oil diet (CO) until postpuberty when half of the male offspring were transferred to a high ω-3 diet containing canola oil and fish oil concentrate (FS).
Resulting worker offspring were transferred to an incubator just prior to emergence.
This environment would allow the transfer of maternal T cells, which are long-lived and could function within the offspring as transferred, or which could participate in the thymic selection process thereby influencing T cell-regulated function throughout life.
At nutritional independence (day 35 of the youngest of a brood), offspring were transferred to mixed groups where all received a standard diet (intermediate between the L- and H-diet).
Embryos imaged at higher resolution appeared to develop normally during culture, but failed to produce viable offspring when transferred into recipients.
"When a mother dolphin has her first offspring, she transfers a huge part of her body's burden of chemicals, including toxins, to her first-born.
Rather than leave my cells in frozen perpetuity and pay hundreds of dollars a year for storage fees, we decided to thaw our potential offspring and transfer my embryo into my uterus.
