Influence of Size and Maturity on Injury in Young Elite Soccer Players [PDF]
International Journal of Environmental Research and 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 ...

Spatial variability in size at maturity of golden king crab (Lithodes aequispinus) and implications for fisheries management [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Many crab fisheries around the world are managed by size, sex and season, where males are given at least one opportunity to reproduce before being harvested.

Spatial and temporal variations in female size at maturity of a Southern Rock Lobster (Jasus edwardsii) population: A likely response to climate change. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 The size at which sexual maturity is reached is a key population parameter used to guide the setting of minimum legal size limits in fisheries. Understanding spatial and temporal variations in size at maturity is fundamental to management because the ...

Reproductive characteristics of doublespotted queenfish, Scomberoides lysan (Actinopterygii: Perciformes: Carangidae), from Sri Lankan waters: Implications for fisheries management [PDF]
Acta Ichthyologica et Piscatoria, 2013 Background. The doublespotted queenfish, Scomberoides lysan (Forsskål, 1775), is one of the most important and highly priced food fishes popular for dry fish production in Sri Lanka.

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 ...

Survival probability and size of lineages in antibody affinity maturation [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2021 Affinity Maturation (AM) is the process through which the immune system is able to develop potent antibodies against new pathogens it encounters, and is at the base of the efficacy of vaccines. At its core AM is analogous to a Darwinian evolutionary process, where B-cells mutate and are selected on the base of their affinity for an Antigen (Ag), and Ag

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 ...

Disparate maturation adaptations to size-dependent mortality [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2006 Body size is an important determinant of resource use, fecundity and mortality risk. Evolution of maturation size in response to size-dependent selection is thus a fundamental part of life-history theory. Increased mortality among small individuals has previously been predicted to cause larger maturation size, whereas increased mortality among large ...
