For instance, reproducing early in the season may allow parents to raise a second brood [9], [10] but it may also bear the risk of low food availability during early chick rearing.
Arhopalus ferus lay large egg batches; hence, no periods of chilling were required to synchronise the availability of sufficient individuals for rearing.
Differences might occur between the two sets of collected larvae that would reflect differences in rearing conditions such as day length, temperature, or food resource availability rather than a developmental bias that would be revealed by the candidate genes.
Taken together, these results suggest that fish reared on low food availability developed a higher DE to buffer the negative effects of an adverse environment.
During the 2005/06 breeding season (December 2005 and January 2006) chick rearing coincided with an anomalous warm-water event (Fig. 1) and low prey availability (this study).
Besides, a smaller segment of the farm was allocated to cattle rearing as compared to maize cultivation, which – according to the farmers, was as a result of the availability of crop residues which could be fed on animals.
