The correlation is lower for the two body morphometric traits, IOD and shoulder width (SW), which is likely a consequence of trying to quantify parts of a 3D structure from a projection onto a 2D image.
(3) are there differences between mineral content and morphometric traits in plants and fruits between populations?
This is the first study evaluating the ecology and morphometric traits of both plants and fruits of wild C. annuum in Baja California Sur, Mexico.
Morphometric traits describing size and shape have likely been subject to ecological selection and thus appear to track local environmental variation regardless of subspecies identity.
Data analysed for morphometric traits of control) and "thick stem" mutant) across the generation are presented in Table 1.
Finally, environmental variation explained significantly less variation in bill morphometric traits (culmen, width, and depth) than in other body morphometric traits (t-test comparing mean percent variation explained by GDM models of bill and non-bill morphometrics: t = 2.57, df = 5, p = 0.001).
The revised phylogeny of the genus Lepilemur is based on the combination of molecular differences (genetic distances and diagnostic sites) and morphometric traits.
Their birth and death dates and breeding success are recorded, along with information regarding morphometric traits (including body weight and faecal egg count, referred to as FEC) and they are genotyped for several microsatellite markers, primarily for paternity analysis.
