The Monte Desert is characterized by a great diversity of landforms created with fluvial,alluvial which the vegetation patterns are related to.The present work has the following objectives:(1) determine whether topogr...
An inventory of Rhynchophorus species was carried out to determine their diversity, biogeographical variability and morphometrics. A shotgun trapping method was used at nine sites in three districts over a four-month ...
Traditional Dipodomys(sub)species identification uses geography,phenotype,and external/skull measurements.Such measurements are correlated with size and thus redundant.I assessed the value of scaled cranial shape,based...
Morphometric studies of 3D micro CT-scanned images can provide insights into the evolution of the brain and sensory structures but such data are still scarce for the most diverse mammalian order of rodents.From review...
Studies on functional performance are important to understand the processes responsible for the evolution of diversity.Morphological trait variation within species influences the energetic cost of locomotion and impac...
Santolina is a clear example of a genus lying in an alpha-taxonomic status,with species accepted only based on qualitative morphological descriptions.In particular,taxonomic issues still need to be resolved for Santol...

Most organ or tissue allografts with viable cells are sto red in solutions ex vivo for hours to seve ral days.Most allografts then require rapid host revascula rization upon transplantation to maintain donor-cell func...
This research was funded by a Paleontological Society Norman Newel Award,a College of Arts and Sciences Regional Campus Research and Creative Activity Grant from the Ohio State University,a research grant from the Ohio State University at Marion,startup funds from the Ohio State University to JC,and Summer Research Assistantship funds from the Ohio State University at Marion to LN.Some of the ideas for this project were developed while JC was supported by a Meaningful Inquiry grant from The Ohio State University library system.
Morphological analyses are critical to quantify phenotypic variation,identify taxa,inform phylogenetic relationships,and shed light on evolutionary patterns.This work is particularly important in groups that display g...

Sexual dimorphism between males and females is a common pattern observed in the natural world and has become one of the main focuses of evolutionary biology.Amphibian head size and shape are important factors that may...

To compare the application of traditional morphometric methods(TMMs)and geometric morphometric methods(GMMs)in the study of intraspecific leaf morphological characters of Quercus dentata,fifteen linear measurement ind...
