this study was carried out in order to determine the leave characteristics of some chestnut genotypes in the central black sea region of turkey and also to determine whether the leaf morphometric characteristics could be used for differentiation of genotypes. in this study, seven chestnut (castanea sativa mill.) genotypes (sa5-1, se 3-12, se 21-2, se 21-9, 552-8, 556-7 and 556-8) and one cultiv...

The black-striped pipefish, Syngnathus abaster, is a species of the Syngnathidae family. This study provides data on the morphometric, meristic and genetic structuring of the Caspian Sea pipefish, Syngnathus abaster. Eight morphometric characteristics based on total length and five morphometric characteristics based on standard length were analyzed. A total of 50 specimens were collected in bra...

 Mahisefid, Rutilus frisii kutum , is a cyprinid fish which is distributed from Turkmenistan to Azerbaijan along the Caspian Sea. It is one of the economically important fish in the region. As part of the Iranian Fisheries Company’s policy to improve the stocks of this species, every year, fingerling of Mahisefid are released into the southern basin of the Caspian Sea. The main objective of thi...

five subspecies of the persian jird, meriones persicus, were reported from iran. these subspecies were described based on morphological characters and coat colors of few specimens. the question of the validity of these subspecies and their geographic distribution is raised. in this study, we combined genetic markers (cox1, cytb and irbp genes), morphometric (external and skull measurments), mor...

two dimensional slope profile morphometric investigation in a part of the land failure prone garhwal region of the lesser himalaya, tehri district, u. p., india, indicates that the landslip morphology is closely related to the dominant movement processes active in this terrain. technique developed for the morphometric analysis of landslips involves the use of five morphometric indices. each ind...
