The 3 basic projection matrices per island were then combined with each of the 5 reproductive rate estimates to obtain 15 λ estimates for island.
Weights of testes and accessory reproductive organs, estimates of daily sperm production, and histomorphometric data on the seminiferous epithelium can be obtained after sacrifice.
Pike's (1987) model of the effect of hormones on cancers of the female reproductive organs estimates that 5-year use of oral contraception delays the rise in age-specific incidence of endometrial cancer by 5 years, thus producing lower rates at older ages.
Once again, we used regression analysis to assess the relationship between overall female reproductive investment, estimated as predicted fecundity, and other female traits including body size, egg size and longevity.
The tables include whether the reproductive number estimate was reported as basic or effective for each study.
There were an estimated 1,546,000 live births in Kenya in 2012 (applying age-specific fertility rates from the 2008/09 KDHS [ 14] to women of reproductive age, estimated by projecting from the 2009 Census [ 22]).
As very few of the chimpanzees had completed their reproductive careers, our estimates reflect short-term variance in reproductive success rather than true variance in LRS.
We examined frequency of human exposure and its relationship to reproductive rates and estimates of pup growth and condition in several colonies of the California sea lion in the Gulf of California, Mexico.
Because Ne is based on lifetime reproductive success, such estimates are much more difficult to obtain for wild populations of iteroparous organisms.
We carried out linear regression analyses to investigate the relationship between R. ferrugineum floral display and reproductive and pollination estimates (fruit and seed sets, reproductive assurance and self-compatibility).
