Excerpts

In our study, inbreeding levels showed an increasing trend which stabilized around 14 or eight maximum generations for CR and CB, respectively ( Figure 1 ).

A statistical trend was considered for p ≤ 0.10. 3.

Moreover, the closer the proximity of the dog’s sleeping place to the dog owner, the more likely (marginally significant, effect size = 0.260) it is that the owner dreams about the dog (see Table 5 ).

However, the difference was marginally insignificant ( t = 1.179), which was mainly attributed to the small number of female samples.

Statistical significance was accepted from p < 0.05 and a statistical trend was considered when 0.05 < p < 0.1. 3.

An increasing trend in the abundance of the phylum Firmicutes and a decreasing trend in the abundance of the phylum Proteobacteria in response to BLFP supplementation were observed.

A total of ten highly significant SNPs are associated with fat and protein, but no threshold significant SNP is associated with MY ( Table 2 , Figure 3 ).

In an initial experiment, we found that just 10 of 30 fearful dogs in the control group passed the SAFER test, whereas 23 of 30 fearful dogs in the treatment condition passed, a difference that was highly significant [ 100 ].

Day 42, Se addition had a negative trend on intake (0.438 vs. 0.446 g/prawn/day) and significantly improved FE (0.478 vs. 0.427; p < 0.01).

Ageing did not affect the alcohols production ( p > 0.05); differently, the total carboxylic acids and total nitrogen compounds were significantly affected by aging time ( p < 0.01) showing an increasing trend.

As said before, usually aromatic hydrocarbons derived from the lipid oxidation [ 49 , 50 ], but we observed a decreasing trend of total aromatic hydrocarbons VOCs.

Although the largest proportion of captures in the study were in the spring, the distribution of the captures in the rest of the seasons was quite balanced; therefore, this balance did not affect the robustness of the results given that differences are highly significant.

Ninety two percent of the herders reported a decreasing trend of livestock numbers over the previous two years.

The relation between the development of the digestive system and the increase in wide of the fish (high PC2 value) could explain why the fish that had been fed with the diets with higher proportion of microalgae (R5 and H5) always had a higher PC2 value than the H2.5 and R2.5 fish at all sampling points, being this difference highly significant between H5 and H2.5 after 90 days of feeding.

Cats that were initially identified as more nervous around humans also showed a trend towards giving longer total slow blink movements in response to human slow blinking.

In this study, the excretion of nitrogen in feces was lower than that in urine, but both showed a decreasing trend with an increase in the oat hay content.

The nutrient digestion and metabolism results showed that, with an increase in the content of oat hay in the diet, the intake and apparent digestibility of dry matter (DM) and organic matter (OM) showed an increasing trend, and the intake, digestion, and stability of acid detergent fiber (ADF) and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) increased in the OHG.

With an increase in rumen digestion time in the MG, the OTUs showed a trend of first decreasing and then increasing, while those in the OHG first increased and then decreased.

Concerning wild boar, different sex-related age patterns were shown, increasing for males but not for females (the sex by age interaction was marginally significant).

Highly significant effect on preference values for PFAD compared to SA (Cohen’s d > 0.8) was observed. 4.

Evidences of significantly asymmetric gene flow ( Figure 1 C) were found from the population of Peneda Gerês National Park to Beiras (CS Portugal) and to Trás-os-Montes (although in the latter, it was only marginally significant).

The results of the present study show an increasing trend overtime, as for the other androgen TEST, yet very weak according to both statistical approaches.

This modification was accompanied by a decreasing trend in the enzymatic activities of CAT, SOD, GPx and GR.

From the results of this study, there may be significant differences, or even conflicting results, in the regulation of gene expression between a co-culture system and monocultures, so the specific mechanism needs to be determined by more in-depth study. 5.

PSV and EDV show a decreasing trend from STA region to the intra-testicular region, this changes resulted in a decreased RI and PI within the MTA and intratesticular artery [ 48 ].
