Sentence examples for morphological characters suspected from inspiring English sources

We also analysed the combined, concatenated data set including those morphological characters suspected to be coupled with social parasitism.

To address potential issues of character exclusion [ 58], we explored the effect of excluding those morphological characters suspected to be functionally coupled with social parasitism by repeating the reconstruction when including them.

We also performed MP analysis of the combined, concatenated data, as well as of the combined concatenated data adding those morphological characters suspected to be coupled with social parasitism.

This pattern persisted in the MP analysis when using the concatenated data including those morphological characters suspected to be functionally coupled with social parasitism, with one exception: the node connecting Dendrolasius to Lasius sensu stricto was then no longer supported (Fig. 2).

Possibly none of these various causes had a strong effect per se, as suggested by rather minor differences between the Bayesian trees based on the concatenated data excluding versus including those morphological characters suspected to be coupled with social parasitism as well as between the Bayesian and the MP trees when excluding those morphological characters (Fig. 2).

Including those morphological characters suspected to be functionally coupled with social parasitism, which we therefore had excluded before, resulted in an identical topology, with very similar node support values (Fig. 2), but with a decrease of the value for the node connecting Cautolasius to (Dendrolasius + Lasius sensu stricto) from 0.83 to 0.74.

Our nuclear phylogeny showed a low support for a relationship among Scardinius and Rutilus, as suspected already by morphological characters [ 14].

However, morphology has not proved satisfactory for the higher level classification of the group and it remains to be seen whether addition of morphological characters will resolve basal relationships, though we suspect that these nodes will be difficult to resolve.

First, despite the fact that very little is known about how cross pollination in these tiny flowering plants occurs, L. japonica has been suspected to originate from a hybridization event between L. minor and L. turionifera based on morphological characters [ 22].

The different genera are morphologically and ecologically highly divergent, with no known diagnostic morphological characters.

Molecular characters can often be identified less ambiguously than morphological characters.
