Internal anatomical features, developmental traits, and serological characteristics are used to a limited extent.
The diversity panel has also been phenotyped for a core set of morphological and developmental traits under both controlled and field conditions (Ali et al. 2010a; Kovach et al. 2009; Sweeney et al. 2007; Takano-Kai et al. 2009).
These methods were applied to Anthyllis cytisoides L., a semi-arid environment shrub, to ascertain the effect of grazing and slope exposure on developmental traits in a 2×2 factorial design.
However, other anatomical and developmental traits suggested that monkey lemurs might be more closely related to family Lemuridae, which include five genera of lemur, including the ring-tailed lemur (Lemur catta).
Likewise, a relationship between family Archaeolemuridae and family Lemuridae has been suggested, based on morphological and developmental traits, yet molar morphology, the number of teeth in the specialized toothcomb, and molecular analysis support a closer relationship with the indriid sloth lemur clade.
Other clinical features include various developmental traits and, in 3 to 5 percent patients, susceptibility to medulloblastoma.
Interest in early developmental mechanisms restricted our focus to pre-metamorphic stages (∼1 day screening time), complex developmental traits like metamorphosis and organogenesis were not surveyed.
Inherited developmental traits like hip and elbow dysplasia cause much of the osteoarthritis that plagues dogs as they age and could be prevented by better breeding practices.
In this sense, Drosophila brings an impressive toolkit for dissecting multiple interacting loci with individually small effects that affect quantitative developmental traits [16].
Developmental traits that are plastic, responding to fragment structure and are not predetermine in controlling astogeny, allow formation of species-specific architecture product through integrated but variable developmental routes.
In the phylogentic tree of bathyergid species the naked mole-rat is at the base [34], [35] assuming that these reproductive and developmental traits might be an ancestral characteristic [33].
