JAD elaborated the morphological character statements, participated in the scoring of morphological matrices, wrote substantial portion of the discussion section and helped to draft the manuscript.
Generally, syndrome characteristics include a more compact growth habit, increased earliness, reduction/loss of seed dispersal and dormancy, gigantism and increased morphological diversity in the consumed portion of the plant (Frary and Doganlar, 2003).
Since 80% of the variation was explained by the first two principal components, environmental gradients related to depth, water motion, light and sediment transport could probably explain a portion of the morphological differences.
Given the plastic responses of some fishes to predators or variable flow regimes, phenotypic plasticity could be responsible for a portion of the morphological variation observed along these environmental gradients.
Yet, despite the impressive range of interspecific morphological variability evinced in the early portion of the hominin fossil record, and the unavoidable conclusion that several premodern taxa probably possessed at least some capability for MHL precision gripping, there remain some important differences between the hand skeletons of early hominins and those of modern humans.
Indeed when Pmp23 is absent or is mutated on one of the putative catalytic residues E61 or D68, S. pneumoniae cells are larger and longer, and a portion of them displays severe morphological and division defects.
Morphological examination revealed a graded damage to the irradiated portion of the infraorbital nerve that was related to the duration of laser irradiation.
Functional and morphological studies of tandem DNA repeats, that combine high portion of most genomes, are mostly limited due to the incomplete characterization of these genome elements.
The morphological shift to spheres was accompanied by release of a portion of the S-layer protein and several other proteins and molecules.
