Neotropical Rhagoletis species are arranged in four groups: nova,psalida,striatella and ferruginea, which include 18 species. On both sides of the Andes, the evolution of morphological differences among these groups has been suggested to be related to the Andes uplift process. In order to test this hypothesis, a phylogenetic analysis of morphological and molecular data was performed. The result...

Cotton is the backbone of Pakistan’s economy. More than half export Pakistan depends on cotton and cotton-based products. Morphological quantitative traits are important for estimation yield. In this regard, a study was conducted to evaluate morphological responses crop at experimental farm MNS-University Agricultural Multan during year 2019-2020. Four varieties with different time windows (ear...

to investigate the effects of supplementary irrigation and application of different compost levels on morphological traits, yield and yield components of two chickpea cultivars under dry land conditions, a field experiment was conducted at the research field in khoramabad, iran in 2009-2010. the experiment was split split plot based on randomized complete block design with four levels of irriga...

Separate morphological and molecular phylogenetic analyses are presented and the classification of trichaline net-winged beetles is revised. The clade, earlier given a subfamily, tribe or subtribe rank, is a terminal lineage in Metriorrhynchina and contains Diatrichalus Kleine, 1926, Eniclases Waterhouse, 1879, Flabellotrichalus Pic, 1921, Lobatang Bocak, 1998, Microtrichalus Pic, 1921, Schizot...

Genital morphology is often used as a key character for distinguishing species in many arthropod groups. Regarding scorpions, male genitalia (hemispermatophores) have been increasingly used in species descriptions. In the present study we analyse hemispermatophores of four Central European species of Euscorpius Thorell, 1876, and those of Euscorpius flavicaudis (De Geer, 1778) from southern Fra...

We inferred the phylogenetic structure and species limits within Coprinellus by using a newly generated multigene alignment of LSU, ITS and β-tubulin sequences. We sampled 154 specimens of 71 species out of ca. 80 known taxa in Coprinellus and inferred phylogenetic relationships by Bayesian MCMC and ML bootstrapping. Morphological and phylogenetic analyses revealed 17 new species, five of which...

The morphological variation of basidiomata of Filoboletus manipularis (Berk) Singer collected in southern Viet Nam was studied. Phylogenetic analyses comprising three gene loci indicated that these collections, although exhibiting widely varying morphologies, represented a single species with a population composed of genetically diverse, sexually compatible monokaryon parental strains. No corre...

This paper describes a compact perceptual image model intended for morphological representation of the visual information contained in natural images. We explain why the total variation can be a criterion to split the information between the two main visual structures, which are the sketch and the microtextures. We deduce a morphological decomposition scheme, based on a segmentation where the b...

Alignment is an important step to linguistically exploit parallel corpora. In this paper we introduce a morphological component that improves the alignment of German-English parallel texts and helps find correspondences between morphological elements on the sub-word level. This paper deals with a small aspect of an alignment system, namely the improvement of a dictionary-based distance measure ...
