The lack of morphological continuum and physiological continuum between the extralaminar galls of N. myrtoidis and the leaves of P. myrtoides, together with the low impacting feeding activity of the sucking insect, determine the establishment of a photosynthesis-deficient structure with unique features among Neotropical galls.
Dipsacaceae (Dipsacales) is one of relatively few groups outside of Asteraceae where the capitulum inflorescence occurs and that also contains species with both radiate and discoid heads (although intermediates between floret types are present in radiate species and form a morphological continuum across the capitulum).
Irrespective of these geomorphological differences on local landscape scale we find that drumlin morphometric values remain part of a morphological continuum at the regional scale.
In a systematic review, Kostopoulos found the closest affinities to P. vinayaki in the Greco-Anatolian P. vallesiensis, stating that "these two species seem to comprise a morphological continuum" (p889).
Due to a morphological continuum of lipomas and liposarcomas, exact recommendations to refer liposarcomas or to perform molecular biological analysis, in apparent straightforward cases, are difficult to make.
It should be noted that hemangiopericytomas (initially described as a distinct neoplasm of pericytic origin) and SFTs actually constitute a single entity with a morphological continuum [ 2].
Because of the large degree of overlap in all morphological measures, instead of considering these two orders as distinct, we will consider Carnivora and Dasyuromorphia as part of the same morphological continuum.
Modern morphology recognizes a continuum between the major morphological categories of root, stem (caulome), leaf (phyllome) and trichome.
This variety characterized by morphological traits like fruit size and seed weight spans a genetic continuum between 'wild' and 'domesticated' forms of the crop.
The results of its investigation suggests a continuum between Guantánamo interrogation rooms and Chicago police precincts.
