The evolution of sperm morphometry in pheasants [PDF]
Postcopulatory sexual selection is thought to be a potent evolutionary force driving the diversification of sperm shape and function across species. In birds, insemination and fertilisation are separated in time and sperm storage increases the duration

Morphometric Shape Analysis with Measurement Covariance Estimates [PDF]
We propose a shape analysis system based upon the description of landmarks with measurement covariance, which extends statistical linear modelling processes to ‘pseudo landmarks’ for scientific studies. We discuss the properties of our approach and how measurement covariances can be considered characteristic of the local shape. Our formulation includes

Differentiation of Trichuris species using a morphometric approach [PDF]
Trichuris trichiura is a nematode considered as the whipworm present in humans and primates. The systematics of the genus Trichuris is complex. Morphological studies of Trichuris isolated from primates and humans conclude that the species infecting these

Craniofacial Morphometric Measurements of Children with Celiac Disease
Objectives: To examine the craniofacial morphologic features of children with celiac disease and to investigate the presence of specific features in this disease. Methods: Totally 100 celiac patients between the ages of 3 and 17 years who were diagnosed with celiac disease by biopsy and 100 healthy age- and sex-matched children were included in the ...

Advances in horse morphometric measurements using LiDAR
Zoometric measurements have a potential value in differentialing between individuals and within populations. The measurement of body size in horses and livestock plays a significant role in functional longevity, production, and reproductive performance and health.

Discovery and Targeted Proteomic Studies Reveal Striatal Markers Validated for Huntington's Disease
ABSTRACT Objective Clinical trials for Huntington's disease (HD) enrolling persons before clinical motor diagnosis (CMD) lack validated biomarkers. This study aimed to conduct an unbiased discovery analysis and a targeted examination of proteomic biomarkers scrutinized by clinical validation. Methods Cerebrospinal fluid was obtained from PREDICT‐HD and

Biological compatibility between two temperate lineages of brown dog ticks, Rhipicephalus sanguineus (sensu lato) [PDF]
Background: The brown dog tick Rhipicephalus sanguineus (sensu stricto) is reputed to be the most widespread tick of domestic dogs worldwide and has also been implicated in the transmission of many pathogens to dogs and humans.
