Abstract:

This study aimed to investigate the effect of an isosmotic point of salinity i.e. 12 ppt on the body shape of sword tail, Xiphophurus helleri, during the early development using geometric morphometric approach. In total sixty newly hatched larvae reared in two salinity treatments (0.5 and 12 ppt) for a period of two months. Then the left side of the specimens were photographed and sixteen landmark-points defined and digitized on 2D picture using tpsDig2 software to extract body shape data. The extracted data after GPA analysis, were analyzed using DFA/T-test Hoteling. The results revealed significant different between body shape of two treatments showing shorter snout, head and caudal peduncle, lower head and body depth, anterior position of gill and longer dorsal fin in the group exposed to higher salinity. The results confirmed that salinity as important environmental parameter impacts and regulate the body shape of swordtail during early ontogenic development.

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...

the effect of traffic density on the accident externality from driving the case study of tehran

در این پژوهش به بررسی اثر افزایش ترافیک بر روی تعداد تصادفات پرداخته شده است. به این منظور 30 تقاطع در شهر تهران بطور تصادفی انتخاب گردید و تعداد تصادفات ماهیانه در این تقاطعات در طول سالهای 89-90 از سازمان کنترل ترافیک شهر تهران استخراج گردید و با استفاده از مدل داده های تابلویی و نرم افزار eviews مدل خطی و درجه دوم تخمین زده شد و در نهایت این نتیجه حاصل شد که تقاطعات پر ترافیک تر تعداد تصادفا...
