American goldfinches make very poor hosts for brood parasites, with studies showing low hatching rates of brown-headed cowbird eggs and no fledging success.
In the context of Antarctic coastal benthic communities, the slow rates of recovery, high ratio of poor dispersing and brooding species, high biogenic habitat heterogeneity and spatio-temporal variability in primary production become especially important considerations for conservation.
Our results show that the young pairs of seahorses H. erectus had smaller brood size, poor offspring survivorship and growth, when compared with those from the old pair parents.
Sitting zombie-eyed before a bank of monitors as the hours crawl by, poor Paul cannot help brooding on the world's cruelty, responding to all attempts at cheering him up with bitter gusts of self-pity.
Instead of three generations, it presents us with three characters, college students leaving Brown in 1982, the year before Eugenides did: Madeleine Hanna, a beautiful, uncertain WASP; Leonard Bankhead, her sometime boyfriend, brilliant, brooding, charismatic, poor; and Mitchell Grammaticus, authorial surrogate, a Greek from Grosse Pointe, Mich., who yearns in alternation for Madeleine and God.
This has important implications for resilience to habitat loss and community homogenisation, especially for Antarctic benthic communities where rates of recovery from disturbance are slow, there is a high ratio of poor-dispersing and brooding species, and high biogenic habitat heterogeneity and spatio-temporal variability in primary production make the system vulnerable to disturbance.
Those whose working memory was poor were more likely to "brood" and scored higher in tests of pessimism.
In contrast, P. pacificus has lower brood sizes and poor male sperm competiveness.
The remaining proportion 1 − g2 are with poor parents and result in brood productivity of b GP.
The back cover promised a thrilling love story between a poor, plain girl and a brooding, troubled landowner.
