Mangrove species generation length, defined as the median age of a reproducing individual based on the estimated age at earliest reproduction and the estimated age at oldest reproduction [35], was conservatively estimated to range between 10 and 40 years based on recent aging techniques developed for Rhizophora, Avicennia and Sonneratia spp. [46] [48].

Its 60-page booklet is full of awestruck testimony, old photographs, reproductions of military records.

A daughter who becomes a new queen may not just be decreasing the old queen's reproduction; she is also taking a place of her sister aspirants to queenship.
