The morphometric analysis of seven quantitative characters shows that Clades 1-3 are morphologically distinct, with no overlap among them.
Bold characters show the prediction accuracies (Acc).
The median value for point estimates of heritability for morphometric characters, length, and weight was 0.52 in this study, a value higher than the median value of 0.29 observed from a meta-analysis of heritability for all morphological characters (including morphometric characters, length, weight) across salmonid species [41].
The present study demonstrates, in mammals, that a population subjected to a high consumption of isoflavones can show a variety of alterations in its individuals, including changes in epigenetic and morphometric characters and in sexual maturation.
This study demonstrates that individuals from a mammalian population subjected to a high consumption of isoflavones can show altered characters, which are relevant from a evolutionary perspective, such as epigenetic and morphometric characters or sexual maturation as a life history character.
This study demonstrates in mammals that individuals from a population subjected to a high consumption of isoflavones can show alterations in characters that may be of importance from an evolutionary perspective, such as epigenetic and morphometric characters or sexual maturation, a life history character.
The morphometric characters were divided into three categories linear, areal and relief aspects of the basin.
Eight morphometric characters of the wing were measured for 76 females (Buga n = 36, Tumaco n = 40) that were compared using univariate and multivariate analyzes.
Analyses revealed plastic morphometric characters at branch level, and predetermined morphometric traits at colony level (only single trait exhibited plasticity under extreme manipulation state).
Changes in behaviour, size and other morphometric characters are potentially linked to the sexually antagonistic selection response.
