For example, the mean value of heritability for morphological traits, such as body and wing length, is 0.46; for life history traits, such as fecundity and life span, is 0.26; and for behavioral traits, such as calling duration and fighting stamina, is 0.30.
Morphological traits, such as size and shape, may reflect a combination of ecological and evolutionary responses by organisms.
d18-dy mutant exhibited long juvenile phase in morphological traits such as the size of the shoot apical meristem (SAM), shape of leaf blades, presence or absence of midribs and node internode differentiation in stem.
The associated morphological traits such as flag leaf width and the number of primary and secondary branches in the panicle also increased significantly, but the total number of tillers was reduced.
Field data was collected on morphological traits such as plant height, leaf length, leaf diameter, finger length, finger width, number of fingers and 1000 seed weight were recorded in accordance with standard finger millet descriptors.
Fatmawati is a new plant type of rice from Indonesia (Abdullah et al. [2008]) which has new morphological traits, such as fewer tillers, sturdy culms and higher number of seed per panicle compared to traditional rice cultivars (Khush [1995]; Abdullah et al. [2008]).
This has been supported by comparisons in communication, chromosomes, genetics, and several morphological traits, such as scent gland similarities.
Although some of its morphological traits, such as the very large pads, are suggestive of arboreal (tree-dwelling) habits, most specimens were collected in pitfall traps on the ground.
Biotypes of BPH are defined as a population or an individual distinguished from other populations or individuals by non-morphological traits such as adaptation and development to a particular host, host preference for feeding or oviposition, or both.
Additionally, other studies have revealed other non-morphological traits such as release of defense metabolites or toxins, changes in prey size, motility, charge and hydrophobicity that affect bacterial vulnerability to protozoan feeding (Pohnert et al. 2007).
Both sets of results presented in Figure 2 show that LAMINA is able to reliably extract leaves from scanned images and accurately calculate leaf morphological traits from such complex leaves to a level of accuracy that matches existing, commonly-used analysis methods.
