A new method is described for preparing slide mounts of whole bodies of microlepidoptera to facilitate comparative morphological studies. This me­ thod conserves traditional characters of wing pattern while revealing wing venation and other morpholo­ gical structures of the denuded body. Examples of new characters revealed on slide mounts of whole bodies and photographed with a Confocal Laser S...

-Pmm, Richard 0. A test of the monophyly of the manakins (Pipridae) and of the cotingas (Cotingidae) based on morphology. Occ. Pap. Mus. Zool., Uniu. Michigan, 723:I-44, 6jigs. A phylogenetic analysis of the Tyrannoidea is performed as a test of the monophyly of the manakins (Pipridae) and of the cotingas (Cotingidae). The 12 morphological characters surveyed include the traditional characters ...

Having knowledge about genetic relationships among accessions is necessary for developing breeding strategies to produce improved cultivars. In present study, genetic diversity and inter-relationship among 29 genotypes of citrus were comparatively analyzed using morphological and RAPD markers. Significant variability was observed among citrus genotypes for 61 quantitative and qualitative morpho...

To better understand the morphological variation for Perilla crop in different areas of China, we studied the morphological variation in 87 accessions (84 cultivated var. frutescens and three cultivated var. crispa) from high latitude (Northeast China) and middle latitude (North and Northwest China) areas of China by examining seven quantitative and 10 qualitative characters. Analysis of the mo...

Based on 270 specimens from 7 populations of Lacerta alpina, L. caucasica, L. daghestanica and L. praticola, morphological relationships between the four species were studied for 7 meristic characters and 5 morphometric characters, using canonical variate analysis. In both scalation and morphometry, the contours and centroids of the studied populations form a trend: L. praticola – L. caucasica ...

A new tiger beetle species, Cicindelidiamelissa Duran & Roman, sp. n., of the tribe Cicindelini, is described from high elevation montane forests of southeastern Arizona and Mexico. It appears to be most closely related to Cicindelidianebuligera (Bates) but is distinguished on the basis of multiple morphological characters and geographic range. The new species is also superficially similar to t...

study of fishes on aquatic ecosystems in many respects, including ecology, behavior, biology, conservation and management of water resources, exploitation of resources and training are important. so in the autumn 2011, the population structure of barilius mesopotamicus was studied. in this order, 69 samples of the mentioned fish from seimareh (34 samples), changoleh (20 samples) and siahgave (1...

some whitefly’s species show host correlated morphological variation. cotton whitefly is a famous one that has a wide variation in its populations and biotypes. this study was conducted to evaluate these variations in varamin area during 2005-6. for this purpose, infested leaves of tomato, cucumber, egg plant and cotton collected from fields. pupal cases mounted in microscopic slides. then thei...

We present a neural model for morphological inflection generation which employs a hard attention mechanism, inspired by the nearly-monotonic alignment commonly found between the characters in a word and the characters in its inflection. We evaluate the model on three previously studied morphological inflection generation datasets and show that it provides state of the art results in various set...
