Sentence examples for body size length from inspiring English sources

We therefore examined two facial features in crayfish of the same size and found that those potential visual cues were not correlated with body size (length) or each other, suggesting that facial features could be used in recognition.

More specifically, to select for relative brain size, we selected on the residuals from the regression of brain size (weight) on body size (length) of both parents.

To see if larger birds were more or less sensitive to risk, we used these two metrics of risk sensitivity in subsequent analyses by regressing body size (length in inches) against each metric.

We note that while our metric of body size (length) was correlated with other size metrics (weight, girth), it seems plausible that other unmeasured factors related to both size and morphology (i.e., shape) also affect migration distance.

We examined whether selection or neutral evolution might account for population variation in body size (length), head crest size (area), and the intensity of red of the dorsal fin (∆R/G) using a model selection approach.

For comparisons of body mass and body size (forelimb length, hind limb length and body length) between the groups, the normality of data was checked by the Kolmogorov Smirnov test, followed by the unpaired t test.

If the phenotypic correlation observed between aedeagus size and wing length has a genetic basis, any directional selective pressure affecting body size (wing length) would indirectly affect the evolution of male genitalia.

Variance in the length of the accessory glands and the testes (both log-transformed) was analysed in initial models constructed with body size (thorax length), diet, age and all possible interactions.
