Habitat effects on morphological variation of Garra rufa (Heckel, 1843) populations in Iran
Understanding the processes involved in evolution of organisms is a principal topic that has received much attention from the research community. A common way to achieve this is to study the ecological conditions and morphological relationships of taxa. Fish are widely regarded as notable animal models in studies of environmental influence on morphological features given their high environmenta...
متن کاملTracking suitable habitat for tree populations under climate change in western North America
An important criticism of bioclimate envelope models is that many wide-ranging species consist of locally adapted populations that may all lag behind their optimal climate habitat under climate change, and thus should be modeled separately. Here, we apply a bioclimate envelope model that tracks habitat of individual populations to estimate adaptational lags for 15 wide-ranging forest tree speci...
متن کاملChanges in shoot allometry with increasing tree height in a tropical canopy species, Elateriospermum tapos.
Allometry of shoot extension units (hereafter termed "current shoots") was analyzed in a Malaysian canopy species, Elateriospermum tapos Bl. (Euphorbiaceae). Changes in current shoot allometry with increasing tree height were related to growth and maintenance of tree crowns. Total biomass, biomass allocation ratio of non-photosynthetic to photosynthetic organs, and wood density of current shoot...
متن کاملEffective Tracking through Tree-Search
A new contour tracking algorithm is presented. Tracking is posed as a matching problem between curves constructed out of edges in the image, and some shape space describing the class of objects of interest. The main contributions of the paper are to present an algorithm which solves this problem accurately and efficiently, in a provable manner. In particular, the algorithm’s efficiency derives ...
متن کاملLatitudinal variation in stipe hollowing in Eisenia arborea (Phaeophyceae, Laminariales)
Morphological variation is common in kelps (Phaeophyceae, Laminariales) and often results from differences in environmental conditions. Stipe hollowing, in particular, occurs in several kelp species worldwide but to date has been investigated for only a few species and primarily at local scales. Here we describe the patterns of stipe hollowing both within and among populations of Eisenia arbore...
