No relationship between fecundity and annual reproductive rate in bony fish [PDF]
Acta Ichthyologica et Piscatoria, 2004 Background. There is still a widespread notion that bony fishes with high fecundities are more productive and therefore more resistant to overexploitation.

Genetic and Environmental (Co)variation of Egg Size, Fecundity, and Growth Traits in Arctic Charr [PDF]
Evolutionary ApplicationsEgg size and fecundity are both positively associated with maternal reproductive success, yet maternal resource limitations result in a trade‐off between these two traits.

High-glucose diets differentially modulate phosphatidylcholine metabolism and fecundity in Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental BiologyBackgroundCaenorhabditis elegans fed a high-glucose Escherichia coli OP50 diet exhibit reduced fecundity, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.MethodsA differential high-glucose diet paradigm was established using C.

Integrated analysis of microRNA and mRNA interactions regulating fecundity in the ovaries of two distinct sheep breeds [PDF]
BMC GenomicsSheep production is vital to the global agricultural economy, particularly for meat and wool. However, fertility varies significantly among breeds, influenced by genetics, nutrition, and environment.

The end of fertility: age, fecundity and fecundability in women [PDF]
Journal of Biosocial Science, 1994 SummaryOnset of capacity for childbearing in women is dated biologically by menarche, although actual onset may be delayed. The end of childbearing is less understood but recent demographic and biological research on fertility at older ages is clarifying the end of fertility.The demographic view of declining fertility with age is based on age-specific ...

Evolutionary Applications, 2021 Tree breeding has focused on increasing stem volume growth with a cost to fecundity. However, fecundity is important in maintaining the fitness in natural stands and facilitating cross‐pollination to advance breeding populations.

Fecundity of tench (Tinca tinca L.) females in Lake Drwęckie [PDF]
Acta Ichthyologica et Piscatoria, 1991 Absolute and relative fecundity was estimated for 136 tench females in Lake Drwęckie as well as the dependence between absolute fecundity and fish body weight and length, as also between ovary weight and fish age. Absolute fecundity amounted to from 18.4

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 One of the major mechanisms responsible for the animals’ fitness dynamics is fecundity. Fecundity as a trait does not evolve independently, and rather interacts with other traits such as body and egg size.

The effects of subcurative praziquantel treatment on life-history traits and trade-offs in drug-resistant Schistosoma mansoni [PDF]
, 2016 Natural selection acts on all organisms, including parasites, to maximise reproductive fitness. Drug resistance traits are often associated with life-history costs in the absence of treatment.

Experimental selection reveals a trade-off between fecundity and lifespan in the coliphage Qß [PDF]
Open Biology, 2013 Understanding virus evolution is key for improving ways to counteract virus-borne diseases. Results from comparative analyses have previously suggested a trade-off between fecundity and lifespan for viruses that infect the bacterium Escherichia coli (i.e.
