Hybrid PET/CT device allows enhanced detection and characterization of neoplastic lesions, by combining the functional data obtained by PET with morphological data obtained by CT [ 4].
Furthermore, to assess a possible role of epithelial cells in tissue mineralization, we explored the cellular phenotype by correlating morphological data with molecular markers revealed by immunohistochemistry.
However, a noteworthy relationship recognized by the morphological data [ 20] was the grouping of the COM clade of fabids and malvids, which was inconsistent with all previous molecular studies.
In this study, we evaluate trait utility by using morphological data and functional models of fish feeding to predict kinematic patterns, then test these predictions by analyzing high-speed films of feeding behavior in limnetic and benthic fish to generate both kinematic and simulated performance data.
However, it is now foreseeable that non-invasive imaging techniques, in particular because they offer the opportunity to conduct high-throughput studies and the suitability to analyze whole specimens in a non-destructive manner, together with the broader availability of the respective instruments, will change the way by which morphological data will be acquired and analyzed in the future.
Both maximum parsimony and maximum likelihood recovered a tree lacking a clade that is robustly supported by morphological data and also by alignments of other sequences (16SrDNA and HSP90).
Furthermore, the Nuc data set and 28S rRNA partition (Figs. 1, Additional file 1) show a close, albeit weak relationship between Siboglinidae and Sabellida, specifically Oweniidae, as suggested by analyses of morphological data [ 10, 11], some molecular data [ 44] and combined analyses of both [ 21].
This view has been supported by morphological data as well as by nuclear and mitochondrial DNA sequencing [ 6- 10].
The close relationship to Clitellata as shown by the NucMt data set (Fig. 2) is not substantiated by morphological data.
