We additionally present preliminary data on DNA methylation dynamics of clustered protocadherins during fetal brain development, as well as the epigenetic differences distinguishing adult neuronal and glial cells.
While it is difficult to distinguish adult males and females in other eastern rainforest sifakas, such as the Perrier's sifaka and Milne-Edwards' sifaka, gender in the silky sifaka is easily discerned due to differences in fur coloration of the upper chest.
The choice of cut-off for age category was based on previous studies to distinguish adult and old people.
Weight limits to distinguish adult, subadult, and juvenile categories were inferred from the analysis of prevalence of infection and reproductive status, according to body mass of rodents.
Apart from detection of diabetes-associated autoantibodies, there were no categorical features that could clinically distinguish adult-onset autoimmune diabetes from type 2 diabetes.
However, there is sufficient overlap for these clinical parameters between groups of patients to make it impossible to accurately distinguish adult-onset autoimmune diabetes from Type 2 diabetes on clinical features alone when considering individual patients 66, 67.
Diagnostic characters to distinguish adult morphospecies were those traditionally used in taxonomic studies of the group, including body size and shape, coloration, surface sculpture and pilosity as well as male genital morphology [ 39- 41].
We could not determine whether juveniles flew longer just because they followed good flyers, or whether they distinguished knowledgeable adults from juveniles and preferentially followed adults to better prey patches.
The age (adult or juvenile) and sex of each bat was recorded; juveniles were distinguished from adults by the presence of cartilaginous epiphyseal plates in their finger bones [ 86] and excluded from subsequent analyses.
