And, according to findings presented here yesterday at the annual meeting of the Society for the Study of Evolution, there was a substantial peace dividend: The monogamous population produced more offspring overall than control populations did.
But in a study reported here last week at the annual meeting of the Society for the Study of Evolution, researchers found that when they forced fruit flies to be monogamous, allowing evolution to disarm the seminal fluid, the monogamous population produced more offspring overall than control populations did.
A case-control study by McDonald et al. (1987) found an 8-fold increase in overall risk to offspring of women exposed to aromatic solvents, mainly toluene.
Second, the overall proportions of offspring fertilised by transgenic and nontransgenic parr across all trials were compared by a two-sample test of binomial proportions.
Using multivariable linear regression, we examined adjusted associations of glucose tolerance with offspring overall (N = 958) and central (N = 760) adiposity and body composition using dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) measured at the school-age visit (95 ± 10 months).
The diploid male colonies had a significantly reduced fitness compared to regular inbred and outbred colonies; they had slower growth rates in the laboratory, survived for a shorter time period under field conditions and produced significantly fewer offspring overall.
= 22, p = 0.1056) (Figure 2B) or in overall locomotor activity between offspring of old fathers and offspring of young fathers in the open field.
Insect bioassays and feeding studies showed that GNA gene expressed in transgenic rice plants decreased survival and overall fecundity (production of offspring) of the insects, retarded insect development, and had a deterrent effect on BPH feeding.
In the same way that facial symmetry and masculinity, and shoulder-to-hip ratio convey information about reproductive/genetic quality in males, waist-to-hip-ratio (WHR) is a phenotypic cue to fertility, fecundity, neurodevelopmental resources in offspring, and overall health, and is indicative of "good genes" in women.
Overall, 7.6% of the offspring had been admitted to hospital with a cardiovascular event.
