Sentence examples similar to testes length from inspiring English sources

Furthermore, there was a selection of testes full-length (not SSH) and undifferentiated gonad (SSH) clones from other sources both salmon [ 22] and trout (McMeel and Guiguen, unpublished).

We used both new and published data on testes volume, canine length, and body weight, though the datasets were not matching, i.e., were not from the same individuals (see the Supplemental Experimental Procedures).

For this purpose, we tested for an interactive effect of the mating tactics with either relative testes mass, total sperm length or any sperm component dimensions on weapon length.

To that end, her team is planning new research into the relationship between testosterone levels, testes size and tusk length in the hope it will bolster their case.

The female reproductive system consists of one pair of ovisacs containing the ovaries, which, although located in front of the testes, may extend some length posteriorly, depending on the animal.

Surprisingly no association between weapon length and testes mass is found but a negative association between weapon length and sperm length is evidenced.

To test whether short telomeres are characteristic for male tissues in general, we compared mean TRF length in testes and somatic tissues (head and thorax) of 1- to 3-day-old adult males from four nests.

In the analyses that included the mean number of males per species, we used this variable as the independent variable and the morphological traits (i.e., hyoid volume, canine length, and testes volume) as dependent variables.

In ants the greater mean telomere length in testes was most likely due to the over-representation of long telomeres and the under-representation of short telomeres in testes compared to somatic tissues (Fig. 3b): all four testes samples had considerably lower skewness and kurtosis values than the four head and thorax samples (data not shown).

In all four replicates the mean TRF length of testes was considerably greater than the mean TRF length of somatic tissues (Fig. 3a), suggesting that males do have the ability to maintain telomere length at a higher level than that observed in somatic tissues.

Log transformed male body mass was included as an independent variable to control for allometric relationship in any of the above models involving weapon length or testes mass, but not in models involving sperm dimensions since preliminary analyses failed to evidence any allometric relationship between sperm dimensions and body mass.
