Sentence examples for patch time from inspiring English sources

We extracted systematic data on three dependent variables across the different conditions: (a) patch first visited (kiwi vs. apple), (b) time spent actively foraging in each patch (time trespassing, sitting, resting, or sleeping were subtracted), (c) total number of visits per patch (N times entering and exiting the patch areas interrupted by at least one bout of foraging).

To offset the shorter patch time, we used high concentrations of biocytin in the pipette solution (12 mg/mL).

Finally, we evaluated the effect of aphid density on smearing rate (smearing frequency offset by patch time), and included the number of host encounters as a covariate.

We made three predictions based on the hypothesis that the presence of exuviae in the patch could influence the time and energy cost for the parasitoid and/or the parasitoid host patch time allocation.

Tall sparse swards exhibit faster depression of within-patch intake rate with increasing patch depletion than short dense ones, with important implications for patch time residence [ 24, 30, 33].

We assessed the potential indirect fitness benefits of smearing by measuring the effects of smearing frequency on the parasitoid's oviposition rate (number of ovipositions offset by patch time) in the patch.

Likewise, as indicator of feasibility was used the times for patch application: "time to determine and mark the painful area", "time of patch application" and "time to monitor".

Time spent foraging was partitioned into patch residence time and travel time between patches.

While parasitism rate was not significantly lower in patches with exuviae when the parasitoid left the patch, the time wasted by parasitoids to handle exuviae did influence the patch residence time.

He estimates that AOL has invested more than $100m into Patch over time.

While a traditional rival, Sony (with the PlayStation), was responsible for the previous rough patch, this time it's Apple.
