It must have been taken after I bruised my jaw body-surfing a couple of summers ago and couldn't shave for a few weeks.
Malformations typically included the heart, eyes, body axis, jaw, trunk, and fins.
A subset of adult specimens from Apoyeque was used to assess variation in pharyngeal jaw shape, body size, head width, and body shape (thick-lipped ♀ n = 23, thick-lipped ♂ n = 13, thin-lipped ♀ = 66, thin-lipped ♂ n = 69; Additional File 5).
The primary features of the feelgood phenotype include a reduced lower jaw, shortened body length, and compact head, trunk and tail as measured from the posterior edge of the ear capsule (Fig. 1A,B, white arrow) to the tip of the tail (Fig. 1A D).
To assess the trophic consequences of predator release, we linked individual morphology (cranial, jaw, and body) to foraging performance.
Measurements (to 0.1 mm) included: standard, head, cheek, upper and lower jaw lengths, body depth, head and interorbital widths, and orbit diameter, with Mitutoyo vernier calipers (Aurora, IL).
The eco-morphological features pharyngeal jaw shape, body shape, stomach contents and stable isotopes (δN) all show a bimodal distribution of traits, which is compatible with the expectations of an initial stage of ecological speciation under disruptive selection.
Over time you can learn to pick the tone color you want and immediately find the position of your lips, jaw and body to produce it.
In studies following the Exxon Valdez disaster, and in laboratory studies, scientists have found that fish embryos exposed to oil develop abnormalities of their jaws and body axis, and swelling (edema) involving their heart and their yolk sacs.
Rivera's jaw-dropping body looked its best in a strapless floral two-piece, her hair blowing in the wind as if nature is her set and the light breeze is a giant fan used to make her look this stunning.
Note physical features the shape of noses, jaws, ears, body shapes, how their clothes fit, or how they carry themselves.
