Fluctuating asymmetry in Pelophylax ridibundus meristic morphological traits and their importance in assessing environmental health
2019, Ecological IndicatorsCitation Excerpt :A great number of environmental studies have reported higher levels of FA in animal populations that are subjected to different types and levels of environmental stress, including anthropogenic one (Leung and Farbes, 1996; Leamy and Klingenberg, 2005; Loehr et al., 2012; Trokovic et al., 2012; Jumawan et al., 2016; Saber et al., 2016; Shadrina and Vol’pert, 2016). Despite the existing controversy, recent studies convincingly show that FA is an informative indicator of ecological stress (Cánovas et al., 2015; Lajus et al., 2015; Natividad et al., 2015; Peligro and Jumawan, 2016; Coda et al., 2017; Guo et al., 2017) and it has its place as an ecological monitoring approach along with physicochemical analyses and other bio-tests. Many authors have measured the levels of FA, as well as the metric (Lauck, 2006; Söderman et al., 2007; Eisemberg and Bertoluci, 2016; Saber et al., 2016; Niemeier et al., 2019) and the meristic characters (Swain, 1987; Zakharov et al., 2000a; Peskova et al., 2011; Zhelev et al., 2015; Guo et al., 2017) in water frogs (i.e., amphibian anurans).
Biometrical measurements as efficient indicators to assess wild boar body condition
2018, Ecological IndicatorsCitation Excerpt :Therefore, methods based on brisket fat measurement could be considered interesting to estimate body condition in closely related animals such as the wild boar (Sus scrofa). Despite this, heterogeneous methods like chest girth-total length ratio (Díez-Delgado et al., 2014), chest girth-total length residuals (García-Jiménez et al., 2015), KFI (Orłowska et al., 2013) or rump fat thickness (Cánovas et al., 2015) have been used in the latest works in which body condition in wild boar has been used as a variable. The main aim of the present work was to generate a non-invasive, easy and reliable method, based on morphometric measurements, able to predict the wild boar brisket fat thickness to be used as a body condition index.
