Foot length had a high positive correlation with PC2 score, and head width had a negative correlation with PC2 score, while the other three morphological variables had low component loadings (<0.12).
The five linear morphological variables had high positive loadings (> 0.96) on the first principal component, and over 94% of the total variance was explained by this first PC, which we interpret as a measure of overall shell size.
Where PCA reports patterns of greatest morphological variability, RDA reports patterns of greatest morphological variability that are correlated with a second set of variables, in this case AR and M. VARPART then provides a means of measuring the magnitude of the effect that the second set of variables has on morphology.
Among these parameters, the process variables have more effect on the morphological characteristics of fibers.
No significant differences in the morphological variables or fruit quality parameters have been found between the transgenic and non-transformed controls of the two citrus genotypes tested in our study.
After we had measured the gill morphological variables in the gill induction experiment, we used some of the measured individuals in this experiment.
Therefore, transgenesis per se did not affect the morphological appearance or phenological cycle of the trees, whereas other factors, such as the developmental stage (for the sweet orange plants) or the ploidy level (for the citrange plants), had a highly significant impact on the morphological variables.
The placing of the remaining species, that have been analyzed here, is mainly in accordance with an analysis of 128 arthropod species that was based on 275 morphological variables as well as 18S and 28S rDNA data [ 38].
To describe the morphological dynamics of vitrified/warmed blastocysts and to identify quantitative morphological variables related to implantation.
This result confirms the importance of the morphological variables for soot discrimination.
