Influence of Size and Maturity on Injury in Young Elite Soccer Players. [PDF]
Int J Environ Res Public Health, 2021 The involvement of pre-adolescents in soccer is becoming more and more frequent, and this growing participation generates some concerns about the potential factors for sports injuries. The purpose of this study was to investigate sports injuries in younger (U9–U11) and older (U12–U13) children playing soccer at an elite level, analyzing potential ...

The evolution of developmental thresholds and reaction norms for age and size at maturity. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2021 Significance Why most—but not all—organisms mature earlier in better growth conditions remains a mystery. Theory suggest that a solution may lie in the existence and evolution of critical size thresholds during development. The threshold model makes two unique predictions on the evolution of reaction norms between species and the ...

Reproductive biology of short mackerel, Rastrelliger brachysoma, off Pattani Bay, Lower Gulf of Thailand [PDF]
Songklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2022 The reproductive biology of short mackerel, Rastrelliger brachysoma, which forms spawning aggregation off Pattani Bay was measured by gonadosomatic index (GSI), size at first maturity (L50) and morphometric maturity classification.

Size at onset of sexual maturity in Macrobrachium amazonicum (Heller, 1862) phenotypes: an integrative approach [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2020 The size at the onset of sexual maturity (SOM) was determined in four hololimnetic populations of Macrobrachium amazonicum using morphometric, physiological and functional criteria.

MEASURING PROBABILISTIC REACTION NORMS FOR AGE AND SIZE AT MATURATION [PDF]
Evolution, 2002 We present a new probabilistic concept of reaction norms for age and size at maturation that is applicable when observations are carried out at discrete time intervals. This approach can also be used to estimate reaction norms for age and size at metamorphosis or at other ontogenetic transitions.

Rapid reproductive analysis and length–weight relations for five species of coral-reef fishes (Actinopterygii) from Papua New Guinea: Nemipterus isacanthus, Parupeneus barberinus, Kyphosus cinerascens, Ctenochaetus striatus (Perciformes), and Balistapus undulatus (Tetraodontiformes) [PDF]
Acta Ichthyologica et Piscatoria, 2017 Background. We present length–weight relations (LWR) and describe the reproductive biology of five species of coral reef fishes from Papua New Guinea (PNG). Each of these species are targeted by artisanal- and small-scale commercial ...

Evolutionary Applications, 2020 Variation in size and age at maturity is an important component of life history that is influenced by both environmental and genetic factors. In salmonids, large size confers a direct reproductive advantage through increased fecundity and egg quality in ...
