Sentence examples for probability of fertilisation from inspiring English sources

This is likely to be particularly important for prospermatogenic species, which should invest their limited ejaculates based on the probability of fertilisation success.

This fertilisation gradient could increase the probability of fertilisation by self-pollination in basal ovules compared to distal ends, which could increase homozygosity.

Recent work on this study population would suggest that both higher rates of egression of live sperm from the SSTs and faster rates of sperm necrosis [ 28, 33] may account for the strong temporal effect detected in probability of fertilisation by low-mobility ejaculates.

An increase in ejaculate expenditure should increase a male's probability of achieving fertilisation (Parker 1990; Parker et al. 1997); however, more work is needed to demonstrate that this increase in sperm number in G. cornutus is adaptive.

This is probably caused by the small population sizes, which increase the probability of self-fertilisation, and may discourage visits by pollinators.

This species exhibits first-male precedence and so a male can optimise his reproductive success by reducing ejaculate size when the probability of obtaining fertilisations is lower.

And particularly where there is any possibility of fertilisation within an animal".

Mississippi failed to pass a measure that would have banned abortion from the moment of fertilisation.

But in other areas they have no problem with unorthodox methods of fertilisation.

This allows the growth rate to increase rapidly after fertilisation but over time the effect of fertilisation dissipates.

It has been hypothesized that the length of time that a fertilisation effect is observed depends on the amount of fertilisation applied in relation to the amount of the nutrient on site before fertilisation (Miller 1981).
