Previously, there were close relations between plant height and internode length (Sun 1987).
This population was used to identify loci and candidate genes for meat quality traits (Sun et al. 2013a), shank length (Sun et al. 2013b) and, polydactyly (Sun et al. 2014) through genome-wide association studies (GWAS) or combined GWAS and linkage analysis (LA) methods.
It is unclear whether the entire repertoire of migratory behaviors (including reproductive diapause and directional flight behavior) are initiated by the same environmental cues, which may include decreasing day length, sun angle and temperature, and the age of the larval food source [ 18].
Dresses were short, lacy in foam white, or ankle-length sun dresses, catching the current fashion vibe.
With his shoulder-length, sun-bleached brown hair and surfer vocabulary, Hejduk (pronounced HAY-duck) has for more than a decade looked like United States soccer's answer to Jeff Spicoli, the surfer-stoner character played by Sean Penn in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High," a 1982 movie based on a school not far from where Hejduk grew up.
Bear footprints at insect-feeding sites were considered to be from black bears if hind pad width was >10 cm and total length >17 cm, from sun bears if measurements were below these thresholds, and indeterminate if length and width matched different species (R. Steinmetz, unpublished data from captive animals).
Her hair is charcoal-black and cut shoulder length against the permanently sunned skin of her neck.
In this communication system, called dance language, the angle at which a bee dances represents a direction relative to the sun, and the length of the dance represents the distance to be flown.
There are many factors involved, but given the right growing conditions (soil nutrients, water, and sun exposure), day length and ambient temperature are the key factors.
By measuring the angle of the dance in relation to the sun and the length of time the bee waggled its abdomen while moving in a figure of eight pattern, researchers have been able to map the distance and location where bees forage from month to month.
With the click of a mouse, the user can zoom in from pictures showing the land below in great detail and with immensely clear resolution.Finding one's own house and tracing the fence-line, even guessing the time of day by the direction of the sun and the length of the shadows, induces child-like wonder in the most jaded of air travellers.
