2.   In mass-flowering, the thrips with their rapid breeding cycles and build-up of numbers can form a very high percentage of the pollinators.

3.   Maturation of these arrested larvae seems to be linked with the breeding cycle of the host and occurs at or around parturition.

4.   A sweltering summer last year reduced conception rates, disrupted the breeding cycle and led to the smaller herd.

9.   The spill happened in the middle of their breeding cycle, and many chicks and eggs were lost.
