Sexing Adult Pale-Winged Starlings Using Morphometric and Discriminant Function Analysis
Accurate sexing of birds is vital for behavioral studies but can be a real problem in the field, especially for monomorphic species. Our goal here was to characterize the morphology of male and female monomorphic pale-winged starlings (Onychognathus nabouroup), a South African sturnid whose plumage is sexually monomorphic. Morphological measurements of genetically sexed animals indicated that m...

متن کاملSexing of mandible using ramus and condyle in Indian population: a discriminant function analysis
The mandible is the strongest bone of the skull, and it is commonly utilized in forensic anthropology for determination of sex from skeletal remains. It has been extensively studied by both metric and non-metric methods, but for this purpose an intact mandible is often required. This study was conducted in Indian population using discriminant function analysis to calculate the accuracy of two p...
متن کاملInvestigation of morphometric variation and differentiation in common kilka (Clupeonella cultriventris) using factor analysis (PCA) and discriminant function analysis (DFA) in southern part of the Caspian Sea
This study was conducted to investigate morphometric variation and differentiation in common kilka (Clupeonella cultriventris) caught from Amir Abad and Babolsar fishing ports during winter 2013. Totally, 330 specimens (272 specimens from Amir Abad port and 58 specimens from Babolsar port) were caught by lift net and 30 absolute morphometric traits, 9 meristic traits, length and gonad, body wei...
متن کاملPredicting Student Outcomes Using Discriminant Function Analysis
Most California community colleges collect copious amounts of data on entering students, most often through the assessment process. However, many times, the data are underutilized: only a few of the data elements captured are used for assessment purposes and the data are not used outside of placement. I have made several attempts to utilize the data, including an attempt to identify variables t...
