The link between jaw morphology and diet held true irrespective of where people came from in the world, explained anthropologist Noreen von Cramon-Taubadel from the University of Kent.
Eco-morphological analyses revealed that Sarcocheilichthys variegatus microoculus from rocky and pebbly zones differed in morphology and diet, and that populations from rocky environments had longer heads and deeper bodies, which are expected to be advantageous for capturing cryptic and/or attached prey in structurally complex, rocky habitats.
These snakes have adapted to marine life and undergone many changes in foraging behavior, morphology and diet [ 29].
Body morphology was not associated with structural complexity in the lakes created by macrophyte coverage, with little evidence for an association of morphology and diet composition in this omnivorous species.
Rapid phenotypic change has occurred on many islands, including shifts in size, morphology, and diet (e.g., Berry et al., 1978; Davis, 1983; Le Roux et al., 2002; Renaud et al., 2013).
She was particularly fascinated with Chapter four, "The Extinct Lemurs", and the reconstructions by Nash that accompanied the descriptions of morphology, behavior, and diet.
Student responses were examined for key words referring to morphology, habitat, taxonomy and diet expressed in a reasonable context.
Living crocodilians are divided into three groups based on their morphology (body form), habits, and diet.
Our results support previous studies suggesting that predation risk may play a more important role than habitat and diet in shaping body morphology of this prey species.
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].
