Sentence examples for measures of wing from inspiring English sources

Miguel Ibáñez helped with the measures of wing and bone areas and L. G. Spurgin with the spelling.

Univariate measures of wing shape such as RSM are more intuitive but lack the high resolution of other multivariate techniques such as geometric morphometrics.

The relationship with flight speed is more complicated than the other measures of wing camber, with the highest values at intermediate flight speeds.

Therefore, although the RSM has been broadly used before and its intuitive interpretation is very useful, the use of multivariate methods such as geometric morphometrics is much more precise and should, at least, be combined with other traditional measures of wing shape.

Our absolute measures of wing sizes also closely resemble those measured using identical methods in other populations of D. pseudoobscura, suggesting that the overall range of phenotypic responses to specific temperatures has been well conserved over time in this species [ 27, 28, 31].

That allows them to gauge wind resistance, which gives them some measure of wing area.

The aspect ratio is a linear and adimensional measure of wing shape: in general terms a low aspect ratio is related to a short and broad wing, while a high aspect ratio is related to a long and slender wing.

This parameter can be defined as a quantitative measure of wing area distribution along the wing axis [ 10] and for a pair of wings is calculated as follows: r ^ 2 S = ∫ 0 1 c ^ r ^ d r ^, where ĉ is the normalized wing chord and r ^ is the non-dimensional radius equal to r/ R, where r is the distance to the wing base on the chord c and R is wing length.

Wing area and wingspan were used as measures of absolute wing size [34].

The wing measurements included forearm length (FA) measured on captured bats and phalanges length of the third, fourth, and fifth digit measured on wing photographs.

We attempted to knock down individual Hsp genes using the GAL4/UAS-RNAi system and measure various aspects of wing and bristle morphology.
