Obviously, our phylogenetic data conflict with taxonomic classification and suggest that the few morphological characters relating it to the Myzus genus could result from convergent evolution, or simply that the taxonomical placement of this species needs revision.
The morphological characters are related to their crystal structure and growth mechanism.
Any sign of selection on the shape of the male copulatory organs is likely to be related to sexual selection and speciation, but the presence of selection (i.e. decoupling from neutral rates) in body morphospace or other morphological characters could be related to the same speciation process or to subsequet anagenetic evolution.
Moreover, the morphological characters studied are fitness-related in many species.
Who is your character related to?
Avoid making your character related to a canon character.
nipponensis in morphological characters and is genetically closely related to cultivated azuki bean with which it is cross compatible.
Cladistic analysis of morphological characters suggest that Pennatomys is most closely related to a clade, the Nectomys subclade, that includes members of Aegialomys, Amphinectomys, Nectomys, Sigmodontomys, Melanomys, Megalomys (another Antillean rice rat), and possibly Nesoryzomys.
Because the closely related L. corrugis has overlapping morphological characters, including similar colouration in the cap and stem, it has been difficult to reliably distinguish between the two species.
Most studies of RCD have considered morphological or behavioral characters directly related to reproduction only, disregarding other morphological characters that may also be potentially important for reproductive isolation (but see [ 18]).
However, it is not known whether cercomonads are sexual, and there are insufficient morphological characters (without using electron microscopy) that could be robustly related to ITS divergence.
