Do Bryophyte Elemental Concentrations Explain Their Morphological Traits?
Differences in the elemental composition of plants, mainly C, N, and P, have been shown to be related to differences in their nutritional status, and their morphological and functional traits.

A comprehensive dataset of morphological traits for Indian climbers [PDF]
Climbers are among the most conspicuous elements of tropical forest ecosystems, where they exhibit exceptional taxonomic diversity. Despite their ecological significance, climbers are notably underrepresented in global plant functional trait databases, limiting our understanding of their ecological strategies and adaptive responses to environmental ...

Inbreeding, Microsatellite Heterozygosity, and Morphological Traits in Lipizzan Horses [PDF]
While the negative effects of inbreeding and reduced heterozygosity on fecundity and survival are well established, only a few investigations have been carried out concerning their influence on morphological traits. This topic is of particular interest for a small and closed population such as the Lipizzan horse.

Evaluation of Selected Morphological and Carcass Traits in Broiler Rabbits
The aim of the work were evaluation of selected morphological and carcass traits in broiler rabbits. The selected morphological traits were length of heads, cross size of heads, length of ears, cross size of breast, depth of breast, under-voltage, length

Exploiting the morphological and phenological diversity in barley landraces of Iran [PDF]
Barley is one the most widely cultivated crop in marginal environments which is often exposed to abiotic stresses. It seems that genetic diversity in adaptive characters is the key factor for adaptation to diverse environments. In this research diversity

Can morphological traits explain species-specific differences in meta-analyses?: a case study of forest beetles [PDF]
Meta-analyses have become a valuable tool with which to synthesise effects across studies, but in ecology and evolution, they are often characterised by high heterogeneity, where effect sizes vary between studies.

Variability in Solanum species: Morphological characterization
Twenty seven accessions of Solanum belonging to six different species were morphologically characterized using IPGRI descriptor. The wild types could be easily distinguished from the cultivated types based on fruit size and shape. S.

Evolution of morphological traits in Verbenaceae [PDF]
• Premise of the study: A new infrafamilial circumscription of the Verbenaceae with eight tribes: Casselieae, Citharexyleae, Duranteae, Lantaneae, Neospartoneae, Petreeae, Priveae, and Verbeneae, has been recently proposed, on the basis of molecular phylogenetic studies. Two genera, Dipyrena and Rhaphithamnus, remain unplaced.

An Intrinsic Geometric Constraint on Morphological Stomatal Traits [PDF]
A strong negative non-linear relationship exists between stomatal density (SD) and size (SS) or length (SL), which is of high importance in gas exchange and plant evolution. However, the cause of this relationship has not been clarified. In geometry, SD has an intrinsic relationship with SS−1 or SL−2, which is defined as a geometric constraint here. We
