Data from hierarchal matings of 68 males and 352 females of Large White and Auburn strains of turkeys, using artificial insemination with undiluted semen, was statistically analyzed to determine the magnitudes of male: female variance component ratios for fertility, embryonic viability and hatchability...

Male Wild Turkeys Meleagrjs gallopayo are known to perform cooperative displays, although published studies have reached diametrically opposed conclusions as to the potential role of indirect selection in favoring cooperation (Watts and Stokes 1971; Balph et aI.1980). Male-male coalitions important ...
Half of the male rats in each treatment group on day 61 were mated with female rats in a ratio of 1:1. All female rats were provided the same commercial standard chow during pregnancy. The pregnancy rate, litter size, and birth weight in the female rats were observed. Measurement of ...
