A subset of precisely measured specimens was analysed for quantitative assessment of the observed trends.
Noise properties are related to electrical characteristics of the measured specimens giving more distinctive results than their voltage current characteristics.
The simple mechanical design is accompanied by a comparatively low-cost, yet high-speed, means of independently measuring specimen strain using a fast line scan camera.
We measured 1302 specimens of 25 species in 28 museum series from 22 locations [Table 1], taking approximately 13,000 cranial measurements and recording some 4,000 external measurements.
To provide an independent test of gradient flattening and loss of morphological diversity, we measured museum specimens of A. virens from the late 1800's and early 1900's, before large-scale deforestation of the region following World War II [32].
The COMT activity was measured in specimens of the renal cortex, outer medulla and papilla from all animals.
The largest diameters of the tear in the coronal and sagittal planes, measured in specimens of categories B and C, are presented in Table 1.
We are grateful to Alain Dubois and Annemarie Ohler for providing supports for Jianping Jiang to check and measure the specimens of spiny frog preserved in the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle of France.
Wallace was not aware of the long-tongued Malagasy race of this hawkmoth, but he had measured a specimen of the African mainland form in the British Museum and found that its tongue measured 7.5 inches [18 centimeters].
