There are abundant reports of symbiosis wherein crustaceans live inside or on mollusks; however, there few published records gastropods hosting decapods. This study examines the biological association between fifteen snails (124.86 ± 19.01) from species Pacific crown conch Melongena patula and porcelain crab Euceramus transversilineatus. Morphometric relationships both invertebrates, as well so...

we investigated sexual size dimorphism in the tree frog, hyla savignyi using 33 males and 22 females from the western and northwestern regions of kermanshah province, western iran. out of sixteen measured morphometric characters, four were significantly larger in females than in males. these characters were nostrileye length, brachium length, elbowlongest finger length and hind limb length.

this study was conducted to examine morphometric and meristic characteristics alongside pigmentation patterns of bream larvae, abramis brama orientalis, in four stages of larval development. morphological characters including total length (tl), standard length (sl), notochord length (nl), head length (hl), head depth (hd), eye diameter (ed) and mouth width (mw) were examined from hatching time ...

PURPOSE The aim of this investigation was to analyze the dimensions of clinical crowns and to classify the crown and the gingival type in the anterior teeth in Korean young adults. MATERIALS AND METHODS Casts were obtained from 50 subjects ranging in age from 24 to 32. Measurements of length and width were made on the casts using a pair of digital calipers on the entire dentition. Crown thick...

ntroduction: In Mexico, there are two recorded living species of Cassiduloida: Cassidulus caribaearum and Rhyncholampas pacifica. Most the taxonomic studies on cassiduloids have used external morphology, pedicellariae morphometric characters; however, intraspecific variation quantitative qualitative characters has been poorly evaluated. Objective: To compare basic morphology R. pacifica C. cari...

C sapidus fisheries has a significant influence on the economy of some countries in North America and has a relative extensive literature in these regions. However, only few papers discuss the ecology of C. sapidus in the South Atlantic, despite its economic importance in that region. We studied the fecundity, reproductive seasonality and maturation size of C. sapidus females captured in the So...

this study was conducted to investigate some aspects of the reproductive system of exopalaemon styliferus (h. milne edwards, 1840) population in downstream bahmanshir river during summer, 2008. a total of 472 specimens collected from sampling site?? stations, males and females comprised 55.4% and 43.6%, respectively (14.4% ovigerous female and 30.1% non-ovigerous females). the minimum size of m...
