The following sections address morphological, reproductive and geographic distributional data in relation to the major clades supported by this study, as well as limitations imposed by missing data and ambiguous phylogenetic resolution in subsections of the phylogeny.
To test for morphological, reproductive, and genetic diversification between migratory and non-migratory stocks, we collected G. cotidianus from one lake and two river sample sites in the Tarawera system.
The present study is, to our knowledge, the first example that clearly suggests that distinct intraspecific ecotypes of an amphidromous fish species (as determined from morphological, reproductive, behavioural, and genetic evidence) may be formed as a consequence of loss of migration and subsequent divergence.
Most research on EDCs today focuses on determining what, where, when, and how such compounds act at the molecular, morphological, physiological, reproductive, and neural levels.
We studied hybridization opportunities, phenotypic traits (including phenological, morphological and reproductive traits) and offspring phenotype of weedy individuals (Table 1) in experimental plant populations cultivated under glasshouse conditions.
Base on the morphological characteristics of reproductive and vegetative organs, and the distributions of putative parents, it is proposed that C. xhsinchuensis is a natural hybrid between C. arisanensis Hayata and C. sieboldii Decaisne ex Regel.
Base on the comparison of morphological characteristics of reproductive and vegetative organs of C. xhsinchuensis and its putative parental species (Table 1, Figures 2, 3 and 6), it is proposed that this unusual plants occur in Jiashih Township of Hsinchu County is a natural hybrid between C. arisanensis and C. sieboldii.
Clearly, the morphological and reproductive structures in Galaxaura show many similarities and can be sources of confusion.
Hybridization opportunities with transgenic plants and phenotypic traits (including phenological, morphological and reproductive traits) were measured for each weedy individual.
Significant QTLs were identified for seed production (Barrett et al. 2005), for 11 morphological and reproductive traits (Cogan et al. 2006), and for salt stress tolerance (Wang et al. 2010).
Soybean aphids exhibit variation in morphological and reproductive traits in response to elevated temperature and can increase clonal fecundity as asexual generations progress under detrimental conditions (Richardson et al. 2011).
