Mouse lemurs have been of particular interest given their cryptic morphological variation associated with high levels of genetic diversity (Yoder et al. 2000; Weisrock et al. 2010).
In addition, these salamanders exhibit extensive morphological variation associated with both cave (subterranean) and surface habitats, making them well suited for investigation of parallel evolution of morphological traits in similar environments (e.g., [ 17]).
Arguably as a result of the patterns of morphological variation associated with frequent apomixis and selfing (Dickinson and Phipps 1985; Dickinson 1986; cf. Lo et al. 2010), the (morphological) species concepts used in Crataegus have been quite narrow, and in many cases do not likely reflect a high degree of genetic differentiation.
A common form of intraspecific divergence in body morphology is resource polymorphism, where morphological variation is associated with segregation in habitat and diet [ 2, 3].
This paper presents a morphological analysis of the active region NOAA AR 484 as well as its intensity and magnetic field variations associated with flare occurrences.
Distinct morphological variation is often associated with variation in life histories within and among populations of both plants and animals.
Among diopsids there is substantial variation both between sexes and among species in the amount of heritable genetic variation associated with eyespan [ 23], and this heritable variation is more tightly linked to overall condition for male eyespan than for other morphological traits [ 24- 26].
The results stress the importance of fine molecular engineering for ternary OSCs, and further hint that the enhancements commonly observed in solution processed ternary OSCs may in part be associated with morphological variations that are not present in vacuum deposited OSCs.
However, we did not find evidence that genetic differentiation and morphological variation among lakes were associated; suggesting that shape variation in roach did not have a heritable component detectable in our analysis.
As an example, genome scans were used to identify loci associated with morphological variation in European minnows (Phoxinus phoxinus) living in different habitat types [ 30].
