Egg Maturation and Fecundity in Etheostoma
The problem of estimating fecundity in darters (Etheostoma and Percina) was discussed and a new definition of fecundity proposed. Estimates of fecundity in four species of Etheostoma was determined by multiplying the number of oocytes (≥0.3 mm) recruited per week times the number of weeks in the …

Of Her Substance: Dress and Fecundity in Renaissance Painting
Garments do not merely adorn women’s bodies; dress shapes and crafts femininity. This dissertation centers a common Italian Renaissance female dress shape, a forward swell of skirts above the womb, usually mistaken by beholders as a visual indication of pregnancy. I term this silhouette gravid …

Population demography of lark buntings: post-fledging survival, fecundity, and breeding decisions
… direct and reliable estimates of survival, fecundity, and dispersal are required. Consequently, I estimated demographic parameters (i.e., post-fledging survival and fecundity) for lark buntings in a relatively extensive (62% grassland remaining within a 21,600 km2 area) native shortgrass …

Maturation, Fecundity, and Spawning Frequency of the Albemarle/Roanoke Striped Bass Stock
… years necessitating an up-to-date maturity and fecundity schedule. The last study was conducted for the Albemarle Striped Bass Management Board in 1989-1990 by Olsen and Rulifson (1992) after the stock had crashed, and just before stock rebuilding took place. There have been many advances in the …

Fecundity of Larrea tridentata and Ambrosia dumosa across a spatially heterogeneous Mojave Desert landscape
Seed dynamics of Larrea tridentata and Ambrosia dumosa were measured for two consecutive years (2000--2001) in microhabitats under adult Larrea, under adult Ambrosia, under non-Larrea/Ambrosia shrubs, in barren open areas, and in open areas with >50% microphytic crust cover. Microhabitat …

Egg quality and fecundity in rainbow trout: the determining factors and mechanisms of control
… involved in the determination of egg quality and fecundity in farmed stocks of rainbow trout ( Salmo gairdneri R) • Measurements of egg quality, ie. percentage survivals of eggs and fry, from the production batches of eggs of seven fish farms, showed mean survivals of 70% to eying but levels of …

The genetic basis of the trade-off between wing morph and fecundity in the sand cricket, Gryllus firmus (Orthoptera, Gryllidae) : correlated response in the proportion macropterous when selecting for a decrease in fecundity
… a phenotypic trade-off exists between morph and fecundity in wing-dimorphic insects. However, to have evolutionary significance trade-offs must be genetically based. A preceding study (Roff, 1994a) conducted on the sand cricket, Gryllus firmus, documented a negative correlated response in …

Towards Dark Fecundity - Reimagining Black futures through visual arts practice, science fiction and Greek mythology
Towards Dark Fecundity - Reimagining Black futures through visual arts practice, science fiction and Greek mythology. This thesis articulates the development of my visual art and critical practice, exploring Black, female subjectivities within speculative narratives of the future. It proposes a new …

Changing Fecundity and Reproductive Output in Females of a Chesapeake Bay Population of Blue Crab, <i>Callinectes sapidus</i>
… a significant relationship between size and fecundity for mature females. As with many heavily fished populations, this population has experienced a reduction in the size at maturity. The objectives of this study were to reassess the fecundity of the population, determine the lipid and …

Impact of self-fertilization on fecundity, the timing of first reproduction, and population genetic structure: Is a mate worth the wait?
… marine nemertean worm, Prosorhochmus americanus. Fecundity and timing to first reproduction were assessed in isolated and paired worms. Isolated worms produced significantly more offspring than paired worms and did not show inbreeding avoidance. The selfing rate of natural populations was …
