eleven goat breeds of different origin (10 spanish and 1 african) were considered for this study: zambian dwarf, azpi-gorri, blanca-andaluza, blanca-celtibérica, blanca de rasquera, catalana, malagueña, moncaína, murciano-granadina, negra serrana and pyrenean. nine linear body measurements for females, as well as the body weight ratio between gender and body weight, were obtained from literatur...

genetic  diversity  is  the  basis  of  the  natural  evolution  of  plant  breeding  and  biological  system  are  important  components  of  sustainability. the aim of this study was to evaluate 116 genotypes of triticum turgidum from seven countries in terms of morphological traits. the results showed that high significant differences among the genotypes. the correlation between grain yield ...

Background: Resistance to foliar fungal diseases along with oleic acid trait, are important objectives of groundnut breeding. Among diseases, rust and Late Leaf Spot (LLS) cause significant economic loss high trait is preferred in industry that enhances values crop. Methods: Morphological characterization the 186-groundnut germplasm lines/genotypes for ten yield attributing traits their signifi...

The shift from egg laying to live-bearing is one of the most well-studied transitions in evolutionary biology. Few studies, however, have assessed the effect of this transition on morphological evolution. Here, we evaluated the effect of reproductive mode on the morphological evolution of 10 traits, among 108 species of phrynosomatid lizards. We assess whether the requirement for passing shelle...

Many animals have two basic traits for avoiding being killed by a predator: behavioral modification and morphological defense. We examined the relationship between antipredator behavior and morphological defense in larvae of three closely related dragonfly species within the genus Leucorrhinia. The three species differ with regard to their morphological defense as expressed in the length of the...

This paper describes a newly defined nonmetric trait in the human dentition, i.e., Hypotrophic Roots of the Upper Central Incisors (HRUCI). Teeth presenting HRUCI are characterized by abnormally short roots whose crowns exhibit no apparent morphological alterations. The trait was observed in six samples from collective funerary sites in the Iberian Peninsula dated from the Late Neolithic to the...
