Sentence examples for morphological characters when from inspiring English sources

Accordingly, the poor phylogenetic resolution associated with the molecular markers employed so far prolongs our reliance on morphological characters when making inferences about dinoflagellate evolutionary history [12], [13], [16].

Oddly, this is similar to the criticism leveled by Zink [ 53] himself against the subspecies erected based on morphological characters: when such markers or characters are used to delimit taxa, the resulting taxon predicts little about the behaviour of the rest of the genome.

Argyreia breviscapa is quite similar to Argyreia 1 in terms of morphological characters, especially when compared as pressed and dried herbarium specimen.

DNA barcodes can facilitate identification of organisms especially when morphological characters are limited or unobservable.

Molecular characters have shown great power when morphological characters are convergent, reduced, or missing among the taxa.

Three of these private alleles in H. naniflora (Hn7116 [422 bp], Hn01135 [300 bp], and Hn00304 [179 bp]), one in H. minor (Hn00252 [224 bp]), and one in H. heterophylla (Hn00002 [297 bp]) were identified with a frequency greater than 10%, and these can be diagnostic in species identification when morphological characters are unavailable.

However, the direction of change in reproductive characters may also be arbitrary relative to changes in other morphological characters between populations in sympatry when the nature of selection is different in reproductive and other morphological characters or when there is selection only on reproductive characters.

In fact, it is a useful tool for the identification of cryptic species, particularly when diagnostic morphological characters are lacking or are difficult to analyze (Kim et al., 2010a; Sherwood, 2008).

The main problems arise when considering morphological characters.

The two plant species were identified as two clusters when leaf morphological characters were measured.

When comparing morphological characters among species, the relative size and the phylogenetic history of each species can drive correlations [ 42, 43].
