Research is often done on insects and other organisms that have short generation times.

The generation time for new inoculum is only 51 hours.

The generation time is estimated to be 40 minutes under optimum conditions.

For animals that we pay attention to, generation times are a year or more.

It has a short generation time (about 10 days at room temperature) so several generations can be studied within a few weeks.

Just under eight hours per day of generation time is expected.

Population level genetic shift speed is heavily determined by generation time.

Long generation times limit the rate at which a species can become more varied.

A major drawback, however, is the long generation time (several months) compared to other research organisms.

In more stressful conditions, this generation time is significantly extended.
