The timing of male reproductive effort relative to female ovulation in a capital breeder.
1. In large herbivores, the timing of breeding is important for females to hit peak plant protein levels. For males, the timing of reproductive effort is important to maximize the number of females they can mate during autumn rut in competition with other males. The latter depends on when most females are ovulating, but also on how other males with a different competitive ability are timing use...
متن کاملtiming in portfolio evaluation: evidence of capital market
using the treynor and mazoy model (expanded by fama to evaluate management performance for asset allocation among investment units), this paper examines the management’s performance in funds and investment companies in tehran stock exchange during 2004-2010. the results do not support the application of management market timing during the study period and managers were only able to create addit...
متن کاملNitrogen allocation to offspring and milk production in a capital breeder.
Nitrogen (N) is a limiting nutrient for many herbivores, especially when plant availability and N content are low during the period of maternal investment, which is common for arctic ungulates. We used natural abundance of N isotopes to quantify allocation of maternal nitrogen to neonatal calves and milk in wild migratory caribou (Rangifer tarandus). We contrasted female-calf pairs from two her...
متن کاملCritical threshold size for overwintering sandeels (Ammodytes marinus)
Several ecologically and commercially important fish species spend the winter in a state of minimum feeding activity and at lower risk of predation. To enable this overwintering behaviour, energetic reserves are generated prior to winter to support winter metabolism. Maintenance metabolism in fish scales with body size and increases with temperature, and the two factors together determine a cri...
متن کاملEvidence-based reproductive medicine: a critical appraisal
Evidence-based medicine has become the golden standard of good medical practice. I analysed meta-analyses and systematic reviews, the cornerstones of evidence-based medicine, pertaining to two important problems in in vitro fertilization: failed implantation and poor ovarian response to ovarian stimulation. Numerous interventions and procedures have been tried to facilitate implantation and to ...
