Morphometrics studies of Mahisefid (Rutilus frisii kutum, Kamensky, 1901) from selected rivers in the southern Caspian Sea
Mahisefid, Rutilus frisii kutum , is a cyprinid fish which is distributed from Turkmenistan to Azerbaijan along the Caspian Sea. It is one of the economically important fish in the region. As part of the Iranian Fisheries Company’s policy to improve the stocks of this species, every year, fingerling of Mahisefid are released into the southern basin of the Caspian Sea. The main objective of thi...

متن کاملPervasive genetic integration directs the evolution of human skull shape.
It has long been unclear whether the different derived cranial traits of modern humans evolved independently in response to separate selection pressures or whether they resulted from the inherent morphological integration throughout the skull. In a novel approach to this issue, we combine evolutionary quantitative genetics and geometric morphometrics to analyze genetic and phenotypic integratio...
متن کاملWhy morphometrics is special: the problem with using partial warps as characters for phylogenetic inference.
There has been a dispute among morphometricians (Fink and Zelditch, 1995; Zelditch, Fink, and Swiderski, 1995; Adams and Rosenberg, 1998; Rohlf, 1998; Swiderski, Zelditch, and Fink, 1998; Zelditch, Fink, Swiderski, and Ludrigan, 1998) on the possibility of using morphometric data, expressed as shape variables (particularly partial warps) extracted by geometric morphometrics methods, in phylogen...
متن کاملA morphometrics-based phylogeny of the temperate Gondwanan mite harvestmen (Opiliones, Cyphophthalmi, Pettalidae)
A phylogenetic estimation of the temperate Gondwanan mite harvestman family Pettalidae (Arachnida, Opiliones, Cyphophthalmi) was conducted using 143 morphological variables (59 raw and 84 scaled measurements) from 37 ingroup and 15 outgroup terminals. We used custom algorithms to do pairwise comparisons between characters and identify sets of dependent characters, which were collapsed using pri...
