Similarly, juvenile body size (e.g., CW in JIV and CL in JIV and JV crab stages) did not vary significantly between the treatments FC, S1, and S3.
In addition, the BS of fish under the highest light intensity increased as white rockfish grew, but BS of fish under lowest light intensity was stable regardless of juvenile body size.
(1998) indicated that maternal environmental effect on juvenile body weight in broiler chickens accounted for 4.14% and 3 to 8% of phenotypic variance, respectively.
Compared to October, the greatest depression of juvenile body weight was observed in December (t = 2.56, p = 0.01) and January (t = 1.88, p < 0.10).
When some of the roots reach the sexual organs, parasitic castration occurs: Male crabs assume a female form, and females revert to an infertile juvenile body.
pulex these changes most noticeably involve the creation of bumps at the back of the neck (e.g., Dodson 1989; Schwartz 1991; Tollrian 1993), an increase in tailspine length, and a general increase in juvenile body size (Spitze and Sadler 1996).

Our primary focus was to document the major events in development of this species from fertilization to metamorphosis, with particular attention to cleavage, gastrulation, and formation of the larval ciliary bands and juvenile body. Secondarily, the development through metamorphosis of this species was used to determine whether there are commonalities that can be used to define developmental patterns for the genus Owenia or to differentiate species within this genus.
