Indeed, both male and female G. affinis showed pronounced variation in body size, which is congruent with studies from the species' natural distribution range (Campton and Gall 1988).
Our results are congruent with studies of methodological quality in other disciplines.

This is congruent with studies on amniote genome size evolution that reconstruct an ancestral amniote genome size comparable to that of crocodilians and turtles (Organ et al. 2007, 2011).
The results of this study are congruent with other studies that demonstrate the presence of an IABP as an independent risk factor for bleeding and increased transfusions [ 22].
