Assessment of Formalin-Fixed Bovine Larynx Asymmetry Using Geometric Morphometry [PDF]

The Scientific World Journal
The vibrations of the larynx produce the voice. Little is known about morphology and the size of cattle larynx. The aim of the study was to quantify the shape asymmetry of the larynx in calves obtained postmortem using a geometric morphometric approach ...

New Insights into Geometric Morphometry Applied to Fish Scales for Species Identification [PDF]

Animals
The possibility of quick and cheap recognition of a fish species from a single dermal scale would be interesting in a wide range of contexts. The methods of geometric morphometry appear to be quite promising, although wide studies comparing different ...

A Different Perspective on Sex Dimorphism in the Adult Hermann's Tortoise: Geometric Morphometry. [PDF]

Zool Stud, 2021
Eastern Hermann's tortoise (Testudo hermanni boettgeri) is a subspecies of Hermann's tortoise (Testudo hermanni) found in Albania. Gender determination is one of the crucial elements in determining the population dynamics in all species. Female and male adult tortoises look different, but these differences can be difficult to distinguish in captivity ...

Geometric morphometrics of rodent sperm head shape. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Mammalian spermatozoa, particularly those of rodent species, are extremely complex cells and differ greatly in form and dimensions. Thus, characterization of sperm size and, particularly, sperm shape represents a major challenge. No consensus exists on a

Comprehensive Mosquito Wing Image Repository for Advancing Research on Geometric Morphometric- and AI-Based Identification [PDF]

Scientific Data
Accurate identification of mosquito species is essential for effective vector control and mitigation of mosquito-borne disease outbreaks. Traditional morphological identification requires highly specialized personnel and is time-consuming, while ...

Sexual dimorphism of the Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra) in South Korea: Craniodental geometric morphometry. [PDF]

J Vet Med Sci, 2016
Sexual dimorphism of the craniodental morphology of the Eurasian otter in South Korea was studied with geometric morphometrics. 29 adult skulls (15 males and 14 females) were used. Images of the dorsal and ventral view of the cranium and right lateral view of the mandible were taken and then digitized, and measurements were taken on the right side ...

Rabbit Skull Shape: Three‐Dimensional Geometric Morphometric Analysis [PDF]

Veterinary Medicine and Science
The objective of the present study was to analyse the three‐dimensional shape of the cranium models of New Zealand rabbits and to determine the effects of sex on shape. To this end, a total of 12 rabbit craniums were used (six female and six male). After
