It also helps in the prediction of the functional consequences of behaviors, such as flight or wing fanning or morphological attributes that can affect air flow in the vicinity of the antennae.
The observations of several morphological attributes that are intermediate between B. gymnorrhiza and B. sexangula suggest that this new taxon is most likely an interspecific hybrid, and a hybrid species name, Bruguiera × rhynchopetala (Ko) X.
Critical Principal Component (PC) axes and the morphological attributes that influence critical PC axes most strongly were identified by permuting the original morphological dataset 1000 times and performing a phylogenetic PCA on each of these permuted datasets.
Examples of two such morphological attributes that are altered in phyB-9 seedlings grown in red light are smaller cotyledons and petioles when compared to the wild type (Neff and Van Volkenburgh 1994; Neff and Chory 1998), a phenotype that is obvious in the Figure 5.
Crispness is a relevant sensory attribute that depends on several factors particularly the plasticizer content (water), the mechanical properties of the solid matrix and the morphological architecture of the bread.
Another possible explanation is that BAS1 expression in the shoot apex is dependent on certain morphological and physiological attributes that are lacking in the phyB-9 mutant background.
Thus, physiological, morphological, and behavioral attributes that confer success in captivity may be incompatible with success in the wild, and natural populations with a large proportion of reintroduced animals may be unsustainable (Lynch and O'Hely 2001).
Morphological attributes with eigenvector distributions that did not overlap with those of the permuted datasets were considered important descriptors of interspecific variability in the corresponding axes.
As will be discussed in more detail below, morphological attributes stabilized some taxa that had been unstable in DNA-only analyses and thus propose a hypothesis about their phylogenetic affinities.
The tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) system was used to classify the disease status based on the major morphological attributes of malignant tumors that were thought to influence disease prognosis: size of the primary tumor (T), presence and extent of regional lymph node involvement (N), and presence of distant metastases (M).
