This assumption, based on morphological comparisons of fossils, conflicts with a 2006 genetic analysis which indicates raccoons are more closely related to ringtails.
On average, this decrease amounted to 30 50% of normal in postmortem morphological comparisons of pancreatic samples from non-diabetic and type 2 diabetic subjects [ 3– 7].
Slides were then used for a morphological comparison of the performance of the different fixatives on a reduced number of slides in order to limit batch variability of staining.
Figure 1 Morphological comparison of Tongil and parental lines.
There are two major findings from the morphological comparison of the images.
Our morphological comparison of the two breeding populations complements the genetic data obtained through RADseq and sheds light from a different perspective on the question.
In Zea mays, for example, morphological comparison of clones of a ploidy series (1 x, 2 x, 3 x and 4 x) illustrated the strong effect of genome dosage on the 13 traits studied [ 48].
In fact, based on morphological comparisons [50], [51], there has been some previous suggestion that Barbourula kalimantanensis may be more closely related to Bombina than to B. busuangensis [51].
Christoffersen [ 21] subdivided the hippolytids into superfamily and families based on morphological comparisons.
Traditionally, the phylogeny of newly described or strictly sylvatic triatomine species has been inferred based on morphological comparisons.
