A new method for estimating the morphometric size at maturity of crabs
Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, 1998Existing techniques for estimating the morphometric size at maturity of crabs are based on assumptions that may be unnecessary. Here we demonstrate a new method of detecting changes in relative growth (or allometric) relationships and estimating morphometric size at maturity.

The interaction of season length and development time alters size at maturity
Oecologia, 2000An end-of-season penalty, with late-maturing individuals being smaller than early-maturing individuals, has been observed in a variety of univoltine terrestrial arthropods. The current study extends these observations, utilizing multiple populations of a single sexually dimorphic species to examine the ecological correlates and fitness consequences of ...

Temporal changes in size‐at‐maturity of black dogfish Centroscyllium fabricii
Journal of Fish Biology, 2019AbstractBy examining the maturity of 283 black dogfish Centroscyllium fabricii from Greenland waters, a shift in size‐at‐maturity in both sexes over the past 25 years is observed. Size‐at‐first maturity decreased approximately 10 cm in both sexes, and L50 and L95 shifted similarly in males, but not in females. It is argued that bycatch in the Greenland

A SIZE AND MATURITY STRUCTURED MODEL OF CELL DWARFISM EXHIBITING CHAOTIC BEHAVIOR
International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos, 2003This work is devoted to analyzing the growth of an abnormal cell population where cellular development is characterized by a measure of its size and maturity. By size, we mean some quantified measure of cellular mass. By maturity, we refer to some measure of cellular development, other than age or size, which can be quantified.

Size at Maturity, Spawning Season, and Food of Atlantic Halibut
Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada, 1967In otter-trawl catches of Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus L.) by research vessels from 1959 to 1964, mature males less than 66 to 70 cm long were not regularly encountered. Males were 96 to 100 cm long before the majority were mature, and females slightly longer.

Size at maturity in male Gambusia heterochir
Journal of Fish Biology, 1987The size at maturity in many male poeciliid fish is believed to be controlled by ‘social control mechanism’, and post‐maturation growth is insignificant. In the Clear Creek gambusia, Gambusia heterochir. post‐maturation growth in male fish is limited. Male G.

IMPROVEMENT OF TOMATO FRUIT SIZE AND MATURITY BY BACKCROSS BREEDING
Canadian Journal of Plant Science, 1961The backcross breeding method was applied to a co-operative tomato improvement project that involved nine research institutions in Western Canada with highly effective results. Breeding lines have been obtained from the Earlinorth × Morden BB3 cross, in which fruit size was 117.15 per cent greater and maturity equal to Earlinorth. In other lines fruit

The Secular Trend in Size and Maturational Timing and Its Implications for Nutritional Assessment
The Journal of Nutrition, 1987For most westernized countries there has been a marked intergenerational increase in size and a decrease in the age at menarche, both interrupted or temporarily reversed during economic disruption or war-time deprivation. In some Third World countries such secular trends have not yet occurred or there have been actual decreases in body size.

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1992
The schedule of growth and reproduction is crucial to maximization of fitness. Models of optimal allocation of limiting resources are useful tools for predicting age and size at maturity - key components of fitness - for all lifestyles. Early models considered annual plants.
