(per capita) reproductive rate Explanation: This is not a precise equivalent. Very likely the geneticists have a specific term for it. The emphasis is on the uniformity, considered desirable. As I read it, the context is animal genetics. What is in question is the number of descendants (next generation), which is discussed elsewhere from various points of view (minimum, variation, "effective" rate in a technical sense, and so on). Note: if you come across espérance in this context, it will mean "expectation" in the statistical sense. My reading is that for some reason they are saying that with 30 bulls entering into class IA etc. one can arrive at a uniform reproductive rate, specifically 1 per. They are concerned with limiting genetic variability, I think. |
