Sentence examples for morphological variation we from inspiring English sources

Because P. falcipes is a small-size species (<20 mm) with extensive coloration and morphological variation, we suspected that it might represent a complex of cryptic species.

To explore the association between environmental conditions and morphological variation we performed 3 independent two-block Partial Least Squares analyses (PLS).

The range of morphological variation we observed was comparable to that observed following down-regulation of genes involved in maintenance DNA methylation [ 6, 14, 64].

To investigate the genetic variation underlying this morphological variation, we re-sequenced, assembled and annotated the genomes of two B. rapa subspecies, turnip crops (turnip) and a rapid cycling.

Based on morphological variation we have uncovered while describing this recently discovered taxon, we hypothesize it is the lineage sister to H. formosa (MLLV, JCB, and JBJ, unpublished data).

Consequently, the morphological variation we have described might be important for population persistence in particular contemporary environments as well as providing a reservoir of evolutionary potential for adaptation to future changing environments.

Our data lend support to the hypothesis that the eco-morphological variation we identified between sympatric conspecific color morphs in the ten wild populations is genetically correlated with color.

Keeley et al. (2007) demonstrated some genetic basis to the morphological variation that we examined, but we have no empirical estimates of heritability (h) for the populations or traits that we studied.

Given the likely challenging conditions that result from the absence of posthatching parental care, it is possible that the morphological variation that we report here might be due to mechanisms that are activated during developmental stress.

As is common practice in studies of morphological shape variation, we used log10- transformed and size-adjusted data to minimize the effects of overall body size variation among samples on interpretations of body shape differences as described in Keeley et al. (2005).

By quantifying the blueprints of the morphological variation of hystricognathous mandibles, we demonstrated that the term "hystricognathy" is not shown to cover a unique mandibular morphology (Fig. 4A).
