Sentence examples for reproductive grounds from inspiring English sources

Walleye is described to natally home, with chemical cues presumably facilitating recognition of reproductive grounds [ 89, 90].

Climate change has affected the reproductive grounds of krill (Euphausia superba) and, consequently, its recruitment, by reducing the area of sea ice formed near the Antarctic Peninsula (Cushing 1995; Loeb et al. 1997).

Data from carpenter bees reveal that foraging and reproduction tend to be coupled and do not support reproductive ground plan hypotheses for the origins of worker division of labour ([ 56]; this study).

We found that ovariole number was related to foraging bias in the backcross bees and in the selected strains, as predicted by the reproductive ground plan hypothesis.

The reproductive ground plan hypothesis proposes that this foraging division of labour is regulated by the same physiological control networks that controlled foraging behaviour during the reproductive life cycle of solitary honeybee ancestors.

We called the underlying evolutionary framework the Reproductive Ground Plan Hypothesis [11].

This hypothesis was derived from the Ovarian Ground Plan Hypothesis of West Eberhard [5], [6] and consequently named the Reproductive Ground Plan Hypothesis (RGPH).

Our results provide comprehensive support for the RGPH of Amdam et al. [4], and are consistent with central roles of IIS and ecdysteroid cascades in the architecture of the reproductive ground plan (see below).

The reproductive ground plan hypothesis proposes that reproductive physiology provided building blocks on which natural selection acted to establish a foraging division of labor.

Most social wasps and honey bees have fairly discrete foraging and reproductive phases, and are thus more suitable for assessing reproductive ground plan hypotheses.

Our current results reinforce the reproductive ground plan hypothesis that postulates that ancestral reproductive physiology was coopted and used to regulate foraging behavior (Amdam et al. 2004, 2006; Page and Amdam 2007; Page et al. 2006).
