Cannibalism, however, leads to a much lower number of eggs in hellbender nests than would be predicted by ovarian counts.

The clutch is normally 3-6 eggs, but may contain any number of eggs up to seven ; even more eggs may be laid in total when some are removed during the laying time, which lasts about 2 days per egg laid.

Like most fish, koi reproduce through spawning in which a female lays a vast number of eggs and one or more males fertilize them.

However, many species produce a far greater number of eggs during their lifetime than do humans, so that, in fish and amphibians, there may be hundreds, or even millions of fertile eggs present in the ovary at any given time.

The games also have some memorable easter eggs, including a number of allusions to other Sierra games.

In many groups of crustaceans, the fertilised eggs are simply released into the water column, while others have developed a number of mechanisms for holding on to the eggs until they are ready to hatch.

One reason given for their demise is that Cretaceous ammonites, being closely related to coleoids, had a similar reproductive strategy in which a huge number of eggs is laid in a single batch at the end of the life span.

The insect must accumulate sufficient stimuli from the host-plant to lay eggs ; so it must make a certain number of consecutive ' appropriate ' landings.

Finally, the highest number of distinct male and female morphs or " genders " within a species is found in the side-blotched lizard, which has five altogether: orange-throated males, who are " ultra-dominant, high testosterone " controllers of multiple females ; blue-throated males, who are less aggressive and guard only one female ; yellow-throated males, who do not defend territories at all but cluster around the territories of orange males ; orange-throated females, who lay many small eggs and are very territorial ; and yellow-throated females, who lay fewer, larger eggs and are more tolerant of each other.

Rather, such assignments are made, as they must be, on the basis of certain overall rules and standards, representing to some extent a statistical approach to the problem, taking into account for each situation some of the variables ( e.g., power and station separations ) and averaging out others in order to achieve the balance which must be struck between protection against destructive interference and the assignment of a number of stations large enough to afford optimum radio service to the Nation.

Since broadcast frequencies are very limited in number, these objectives are to some extent inconsistent in that not all of them can be fully realized, and to the extent that each is realized, there is a corresponding reduction of the possibilities for fullest achievement of the others.

Additional class 2, assignments for daytime operation can be made without causing destructive interference to the class 1, stations or to each other, and by their operation provide additional service on these channels and additional local outlets for a large number of communities.

More generally, suppose that an experiment consists of a number of independent trials, that each trial results in either a `` success '' or a `` non-success '' ( `` failure '' ), and that the probability of success remains constant from trial to trial.

For an experiment to qualify as a binomial experiment, it must have four properties: ( 1 ) there must be a fixed number of trials, ( 2 ) each trial must result in a `` success '' or a `` failure '' ( a binomial trial ), ( 3 ) all trials must have identical probabilities of success, ( 4 ) the trials must be independent of each other.

When each number of successes X is paired with its probability of occurrence Af, the set of pairs Af, is a probability function called a binomial distribution.

The number of successes on each shot is a value of a random variable that has values 0 or 1, and there are 5 such random variables here.

In order to be able to properly relate the data for a single company each of the three cards comprising the set for each firm was identified with the appropriate serial number of the respondent.

We know that the number of radio and television impulses, sound waves, ultra-violet rays, etc., that may occupy the very same space, each solitary upon its own frequency, is infinite.

So we may conceive the coexistence of the infinite number of universal, apparently momentary states of matter, successive one after another in consciousness, but permanent each on its own basic phase of the progressive frequencies.

The body, senses and brain, in common with all matter, have their counterpart on each of a countless number of frequencies.

List the number of hours the family can be expected to work each month.

And while every writer must be dealt with as a special case, the interested student will want to ask himself a number of questions about each.

Having volunteered that he was a man of about sixty, he bounded up the stairs and with each leap rendered the number less credible.

The spokesman said the number to be furloughed cannot be estimated since the lay-offs must be carried out in each area depending on what men are most needed on the job.

The basic state grant is thirty cents for each person served, and there is a further book incentive grant that provides an extra twenty cents up to fifty cents per capita, if a library spends a certain number of dollars.

we cover each of these with our blanket of peas and then at last we have octillion peas corresponding in number to the atoms in the body.

The actual number of species in each group depends on the taxonomic classification followed.

The number of electrons in each element's electron shells, particularly the outermost valence shell, is the primary factor in determining its chemical bonding behavior.

Milk snakes are oviparous, laying an average of about 10 eggs per clutch, although that number may vary by region.

The number in the clutch is often very large, but seven or eight are normal, and bigger clutches are usually laid by two or even more hens.

The number in the clutch is often very large, as many as 18, but five to twelve is more common.

He quickly rose to the status of number one contender on the strength of his " cobra clutch " challenges where he would seat wrestlers in a chair in the ring, and apply the hold, offering $ 5, 000 to anyone who could break it.

In 2006, Sports Illustrated rated him the number one clutch quarterback of all-time.

A relatively small number of eggs per clutch is common, produced several times a year.

The number of eggs in a clutch ranges from 3 to 7.

Huia appear to have raised just one brood per season ; the number of eggs in a clutch is variously described as being 3 – 5, 4, 2 – 4 and 1 – 4.

The number of eggs ranges from two to seven eggs per clutch, with five being the most common number.

The clutch is normally 4 – 6 eggs, though the number can range from 3 – 10.

Southeastern five-lined Skinks are oviparous ; the clutch size varies from 6 to 12, with the number of eggs diminishing with higher latitudes.

It can also power any number of features such as the clutch, turning headlamps and even power windows.

His work suggested that natural selection favoured clutch sizes that ensured the greatest number of surviving young.

Cinerama released a clutch of multi-format singles in support of their debut album, as well as a number of intervening releases prior to 2000's Steve Albini recorded, Disco Volante.

A manumatic, like a standard automatic transmission, uses a torque converter instead of clutch to manage the link between the transmission and the engine, while a CVT uses a belt instead of a fixed number of gears.

A modal clutch size is two eggs with the expected tradeoffs between size and number of eggs observed ( greater the size, the fewer the eggs ).

Owing to this feature, as well as the use of a large, multi-plate clutch to provide second gear reaction, the THM400 is able to withstand very high input torque and an enormous number of shifting cycles, as would be encountered in frequent stop-and-go driving.

It operates as a number of separate gearboxes, each one controlled by a separate clutch, interlocked to avoid multiple selection.

Given the great number of players who have played the game, players who have average career statistics but seemingly exceptional statistics in certain situations ( e. g. the playoffs or with the bases loaded ) are expected without providing proof that " clutch hitting " skills exist.

However, there is little-to-no statistical evidence that shows this to be common, favoring the idea that any such impact is frequently overstated and most " clutch hits " are simply cases where success occurred at fortunate moments, and players perceived as " clutch " are simply players who have been lucky enough to get an above-average number of these hits.
