litter

the offence committed where a person throws down, drops or otherwise deposits any litter in any place to which this law applies and leaves it. The law applies to any place in the area of a principal litter authority which is open to the air, unless the public does not have access to it, with or without payment. It is immaterial whether the litter is deposited on land or in water. Litter expressly includes the discarded ends of cigarettes, cigars and like products, and discarded chewing-gum and the discarded remains of other products designed for chewing.

Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated to determine the associations between capacitation status, variation of capacitation status, and litter size. The ability of individual analyzed parameters to predict litter size was evaluated by receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves (litter size [greater than or equal to]11 or <11 [based on average litter size of Landrace pigs], litter size [greater than or equal to]12 or <12 (based on average litter size of Yorkshire pigs), and litter size [greater than or equal to]8 or <8 [based on average litter size of Duroc pigs]).

Although it is hypothesized that populations at their range limits have reduced reproductive output (Gaston, 2009; Sexton el al, 2009), theory predicts that expanding populations have relatively high reproductive rates (Philips el al., 2010) and empirical evidence suggests that litter size of European wild boar increases with latitude (Bywater el al, 2010).
