The effect of food type on phenotypic plasticity of sword tail, Xiphophurus helleri, during early ontogeny
Phenotypic plasticity is an important mechanism of phenotypic adaptation in response to environmental conditions. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of food type on the body shape of swordtail, Xiphoohurus helleri, during early development using geometric morphometric method. For this purpose, two treatments including feed by Artemia naupli and commercial Biomar diet were used i...
متن کاملAdaptive responses and invasion: the role of plasticity and evolution in snail shell morphology
Invasive species often exhibit either evolved or plastic adaptations in response to spatially varying environmental conditions. We investigated whether evolved or plastic adaptation was driving variation in shell morphology among invasive populations of the New Zealand mud snail (Potamopyrgus antipodarum) in the western United States. We found that invasive populations exhibit considerable shel...
متن کاملEffect of morphological development on the locomotion function of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niluticus during early ontogeny
This study was conducted to investigate the hydrodynamic parameters and how morphological changes affect them in Oreochromis niloticus at the National Museum of Natural History-Paris in the winter of 2020. To record fish movement, a high-speed camera (1000 fps) with a macro lens was used. The fish trajectory was taken by calculating coordinates of a center point between the two eyes and kinemat...
متن کاملDoes prey size induce head skeleton phenotypic plasticity during early ontogeny in the snake Boa constrictor?
Diet was manipulated in juveniles of the snake Boa constrictor (Serpentes: Boidae) to test the hypothesis of whether prey size induces phenotypic plasticity of the head skeleton. Additionally, the onset of sexual size dimorphisms (SSDs) was determined under a feeding schedule where total prey mass consumed by snakes was held constant. Twenty-three neonatal B. constrictor from a single-sired lit...
متن کاملthe effect of e-64 on the developmental competence of sheep cocs during in vitro maturation
in the present study, the effect of e-64 at different concentrations (0.5, 1, 5 and 10 µm) added to (1) the ivm medium on oocyte nuclear maturation and developmental competence of ovine oocytes, and (2) to the ivc medium on embryonic development of ovine embryos were investigated.
