Male chambers housed 20 males each (males were always reared in the same density), 12 of the minor morph and 8 of the major morph, which reflects the proportion (0.60) of minor males found in natural populations of O. taurus in Western Australia [ 35].
Under the assumption that the open habitat represented the original morph frequency and the shaded habitat represented the differentiated state, evolutionary rate was calculated (and expressed in kilodarwins; Haldane, 1949) as (ln PS−ln PO)/ t for all major morph categories (where t is the time period in 10 year).
Finally, for each habitat pair, I calculated a standardised measure for differentiation between the open and the shaded habitat for each of the major morph categories (that is, frequencies of P, B, YeU, banded, eU, 00300, 00345, 12345, fusion in 5-banded and fusion in all banded).
Specifically, both amplitude and steepness of the slope increased significantly from the pupal to the adult stage, creating a greater and more sudden disparity between minor and major male morphs (amplitude: T64 = 2.76, p = 0.0075; slope: T64 = 2.53, p = 0.0139).
Maybe this is the beginning of a fundamental political realignment, with the two major parties morphing into pro- and anti-globalization/immigration movements along the lines of how the British divided on the Brexit vote.
Polymorphism in the Ostertagiinae was accounted for with major and minor morphs recorded separately; counts of major and minor morphotypes representing single species were combined for analysis purposes.
The prevalence of the abomasal nematodes in the study population was calculated as well as the proportion of major and minor morphs of each species in addition to the proportion of males to females.
Though Mattingly wasn't the original Animorphs artist, his covers starting with #4, The Message, and continuing through the final, 54th book and onto the auxiliary Megamorphs spinoffs (don't ask)—would end up constituting some of the first major computer-based "morphing" art.
However, a major development that morphed our understanding of GORD was the development and widespread clinical use of proton pump inhibitors (PPI).
