data collected in 2012 on 400 chickens were subjected to two-way analyses of variance to estimatebody weight, morphometric traits as well as the correlationbetween body weight and morphometric traitsin isa brown and ilorin ecotypechickens. the studied morphometric traits were comb length, beak length,head length, neck length, body length, wing length, shank length, thigh length, toe length, bre...

Subterranean termites in the genus Heterotermes Froggatt (Rhinotermitidae: Heterotermitinae) are pantropical wood feeders capable of causing significant structural damage. The aim of this study was to investigate soldier morphological attributes in three Puerto Rican species of Heterotermes previously identified by sequencing of two mitochondrial genes and attributed to Heterotermes tenuis (Hag...

The object of this paper is to analyse the sedimentologic characteristics of old and new terrace sediments from the Pawmpawm River channel. The morphometric characteristics of the terrace materials give credence to the hydrologic dynamics of the river as it performs its core functions of erosion, transportation and deposition with time. The terrace materials are evidenced from their petrographi...

Eight different morphometric dimensions were monitored on 106 lamb carcasses belonging to three Catalan meat sheep breeds (Ripollesa, Rousillon Red and Xisqueta). Our purpose was to examine differences with regard to measurable carcass dimensions and also to establish between and within breed relationships among the carcass components. Measured variables included: carcass weight (CW), leg lengt...

Variation in squamate foot morphology is likely relevant during evolutionary processes of habitat colonization because distinct surfaces differ in energetic and functional demands for locomotion. We combined new foot morphological data with published information of limb and tail lengths to investigate evolutionary changes possibly associated with the differential usage of ecological settings by...

Six new species of the genus Junnanotrechus Uéno & Yin, 1993 are described from Yunnan Province, southern China: J. wrasei sp. n. (from the Diancang Shan Mt. R.), J. triporus sp. n. (from the mountains east of Weishan), J. schuelkei sp. n. (from the Ailao Shan Mountain Range), J. elegantulus sp. n. (from the Daxueshan Mount east of Mengsa Town), J. oblongus sp. n. (from the Daxueshan Mount west...

We carried out a morphometric analysis of the acetabulum following Dega osteotomy in patients with cerebral palsy using three-dimensional CT. We assessed 17 acetabula in 12 patients with instability of the hip. A Dega osteotomy and varus derotation femoral osteotomy were performed in all 17 hips. Three-dimensional CT scans were taken before and approximately one year after operation. Acetabular...

Field, morphometric, statistical, analyzes on basis generally accepted and special methods plant breeding, seed crop production. Results. results modification variability absolute relative quantitative traits plants are prese...

the objective of this study was to evaluate the morphometric and reproductive traits of indigenous dairy goat types. it was conducted in three districts (ebnat, gonji-kolela and farta) based on the agro-ecological differences, goat population potentials and experience of the farmers using goat milk. semi-structured questionnaires, field observations, morphological and reproductive trait measure...
