Sentence examples for weapons length from inspiring English sources

Furthermore, the mating tactics did not modulate the relationships between weapons length and the different post-copulatory traits (Table  3).

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

No significant associations were found between weapon length and head or midpiece length, nor between weapon length and midpiece volume (Table  1).
