The measured thickness value is also shown.
Besides the early sauropodomorph eggshells measured in this study, eggshell thickness data were collected from the literature19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,38,39,40,41,42,43.
A subset was also measured with calipers for ankle thickness (data not shown), which showed that AR mice had an increased cumulative ankle thickness compared to NAR mice and corroborated the subjective scoring method.
All results for PP-area-2 and SC-area-2 were comparable to the other measures of preperitoneal and subcutaneous fat thickness (data not shown).
All results for PP-area-2 and SC-area-2 were comparable to the respective area 1 and distance measures of preperitoneal and subcutaneous fat thickness (data not shown).
Whole brain volume, regional volumes and cortical thickness measures (volumes normalized to ICV and raw cortical thickness data) were included in a recent study (McEvoy et al. 2011).
We do however believe that volumes should be normalized by ICV and that raw cortical thickness data should be used, especially when looking at single regions or measures.
Repeated measures one-way ANOVA with Tukey's correction for multiple comparison post-hoc tests was used to analyze quadrant scleral thickness data.
Orbicularis oculi muscle thickness and orbital fat prolapse length were measured on data images using the digital caliper available on the workstation.
UK scientists combined results from Cryosat, which uses radar to measure ice thickness, with data from Nasa's IceSat, which uses lasers.
