Size and shape analysis of two close Cyprinidae species (Garra variabilis-Garra rufa) by geometric morphometric methods
In this study, the shape and size differences between 30 samples of Garra rufa and Garra variabilis species captured in Tigris River were investigated by using geometric morphometric methods. According to the results of this study, there is no difference between these two species in terms of size (CS); however, they are quite different from each other in terms of shape and this difference is si...
متن کاملOntogeny, phylogeny, and morphology in anuran larvae: morphometric analysis of cranial development and evolution in Rana tadpoles (Anura: Ranidae).
Comparative studies of chondrocranial morphology in larval anurans are typically qualitative in nature, focusing primarily on discrete variation or gross differences in the size or shape of individual structures. Detailed data on chondrocranial allometry are currently limited to only two species, Rana sylvatica and Bufo americanus. This study uses geometric morphometric and multivariate statist...
متن کاملImmune responsiveness to phytohemagglutinin displays species but not sex differences in three anuran species
Phytohemagglutinin (PHA)-induced skin swelling response is widely used as a rough surrogate of integrative cell-mediated and innate immunity across multiple vertebrate taxa due to its simplification and feasibility. However, little is known whether there are sex and interspecific differences of immune responsiveness to PHA in ectotherms, especially for anurans. Therefore, we studied sex and spe...

متن کاملMorphometric relationships of take-off speed in anuran amphibians.
Locomotory speed correlates with muscle mass (determining force and stride rate), limb length (stride rate and distance), and laterally compressed body trunk (force and stride distance). To delineate generalization of the locomotory-morphometric relationships specifically in anuran amphibians, we investigated take-off speed and the three morphological variables from seven species, Rana nigromac...
