Scientists have recently developed much more efficient methods of freezing eggs, which can now be thawed without formation of the ice crystals that destroy their reproductive potential.

Prodigious at seeding and with the ability to survive in low-nutrient soils and crevices barely even holding soil, the ruderals scatter their reproductive potential widely.

Livestock grazing injures the leaves of the rare plant, reducing its reproductive potential.

A low waist-hip ratio has often been seen as a sign of good health and reproductive potential.

This result reflects a trade-off between the quantity of offspring and those offspring's reproductive potential.
