The analysis of shape is a fundamental part of much biological research. Morphometrics, which incorporates concepts from biology, geometry, and statistics, is the study of the geometrical form of organisms. In addition, morphometric characteristics can be used to differentiate ‘phenotypic stocks’ as groups with similar growth, mortality, and reproductive rates. In this study, 25 morphometric characters were used to discriminate European pilchard (Sardina pilchardus) stocks from Türkiye. Intraspecific variation of the European pilchard was investigated based on morphometric characters. Samples were collected from the Aegean Sea (AS; N = 54), the Sea of Marmara (MS; N = 50) and the Mediterranean Sea (MEDS; N = 50) during the 2019 fishing season. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Canonical Discriminant Analysis (CDA) were used for stock discrimination of the European pilchard. Univariate statistics (ANOVA) showed that 24 of the 25 measurements differed significantly between samples to a varying degree ( p < 0.001). According to CDA, an overall classification success rate of 87.7% was achieved using 12 morphometric parameters. All samples were clearly separated from each other in the discriminant space, suggesting that there was no strong intermingling between populations. In addition, we would like to conclude that the morphological difference is not at the genetic level, and would like to emphasize the need for additional stock discrimination methods.

The current study aims to calculate and assess the asymmetry of the two goatfish species, Yellowstripe goatfish Mulloidichthys flavolineatus (Lacepède 1801) and Red Sea goatfish, Parupeneus forsskali (Fourmanoir & Guézé 1976) collected from Hurghada fishing harbour, Egypt. The asymmetry valuation for M. flavolineatus and P. forsskali is imperative to demonstrate the impact of asymmetry on the larvae settlement in this vital fishing ground. Asymmetry was calculated for the saccular otolith (Sagittae) biometry, namely length, width, and mass. The results showed that the otolith height had a lower asymmetry value than the otolith length for the two goatfish species inspected. No relationship between the asymmetry value of otolith length and width and total fish length was observed. Both goatfish species’ calculated otolith mass asymmetry was higher than that of many teleost fish species.

Clinical observations and experimental research results prove the toxic effect of oxygen on the respiratory tract both in normo- and hyperbaria. The majority of available studies concern changes in the lung parenchyma, only some of them refer to the impact of hyperbaric oxygen on the respiratory tract. The objective of the study based on an animal model was to provide an evaluation of the effect of overpressure of exhaled oxygen (oxygen hyperbaria) and the time of its duration on morphological changes in the mucous and submucous membranes of the trachea. Oxygen hyperbaria corresponding to the depth of 5 – 7 metres induces temporary motor agitation and increased aggression in rats lasting from 3 to 20 minutes. Further rises of oxygen pressure cause a reduction of the agitation, whereas at the depth of 40 m it results in extreme weakening of the breathing activity and leads to the animals’ death.Growing oxygen hyperbaria causes thickening of both the mucous and submucous membranes of the rats’ trachea accompanied by narrowing of its lumen. The changes are intensified with prolonged duration of hyperbaric oxygen therapy. The most serious morphological changes were observed in the submucous membrane of the trachea. The dominant lesion consisted of an interstitial oedema with the widening of the vascular bed. Progressing hyperbaria caused thickening of the mucous and submucous membranes with a simultaneous reduction of the trachea lumen. Similar tendencies persisted with prolonged duration of hyperbaria.

Obserwacje kliniczne oraz wyniki badań doświadczalnych dowodzą toksycznego działania tlenu na drogi oddechowe zarówno w normo - jak i hiperbarii. Większość dotychczasowych opracowań dotyczy zmian w miąższu płucnym, tylko pojedyncze odnoszą się do wpływu hiperbarii tlenowej na drogi oddechowe. Celem badań własnych na modelu zwierzęcym, była ocena wpływu nadciśnienia tlenu wdychanego (hiperbarii tlenowej) i czasu stosowania tego nadciśnienia na zmiany morfologiczne w błonie śluzowej i włóknistej tchawicy. Hiperbaria tlenowa odpowiadająca głębokości do 5 - 7 metrów wywołuje u szczurów przejściowe, trwające od 3 do 20 minut pobudzenie ruchowe i zwiększenie agresywności. Dalsze zwiększanie ciśnienia tlenu powoduje zmniejszenie ich ruchliwości, a na głębokości do 40 m doprowadza do ekstremalnego osłabienia oddychania i padania zwierząt. Narastanie hiperbarii tlenowej powoduje u szczurów pogrubienie zarówno błony śluzowej jak i włóknistej tchawicy, przy równoczesnym zwężeniu jej światła. Zmiany te narastają wraz z wydłużaniem czasu działania hiperbarii tlenowej. Wśród tych zmian dominował obrzęk śródmiąższowy z poszerzeniem łożyska naczyniowego. W miarę narastania hiperbarii obserwowano pogrubienie błony śluzowej i włóknistej, przy równoczesnym zmniejszaniu się światła tchawicy. Podobne tendencje utrzymywały się wraz z narastaniem czasu działania hiperbarii.

The article shows the application of GIS method for an automatic identification of landforms in the area of junction formed by the Warta, Widawka and Grabia Rivers. The analysis is based on Digital Elevation Model designed in compliance with topographical maps on a scale of 1:10 000 and its DEM-based derivatives. DEM-based maps have been built with use of the ISODATA algorithm in order to classify the morphometric characteristics of terrain. The landforms have been determined on the basis of numeric terrain model derivatives and presented on a morphometric map. In order to verify the results, the identified landforms were juxtaposed with the geomorphological mapping created during the preparation of detailed geological maps. The comparison showed the validity of almost all indicated landforms and their considerable spatial differentiation. The spatial and localisation differences of landforms have been presented in the form of map sets.

W artykule przedstawiono próbę zastosowania metod GIS do automatycznego wyznaczenia form ukształtowania terenu na obszarze węzła dolinnego tworzonego przez Wartę, Widawkę i Grabię. Podstawę analizy stanowi numeryczny model terenu wykonany w oparciu o mapy topograficzne w skali 1:10 000 oraz jego pochodne. Wykonane na podstawie cyfrowego modelu terenu mapy zostały przetworzone przy użyciu algorytmu ISODATA w celu klasyfikacji cech morfometrycznych terenu. W oparciu o pochodne numerycznego modelu terenu zostały wyznaczone formy rzeźby. Wyznaczone formy terenu zostały zaprezentowane na mapie morfometrycznej. W celu weryfikacji wydzielonych form zestawiono je ze szkicami geomorfologicznymi obszaru wykonanym podczas opracowywania szczegółowych map geologicznych. Zestawienie to potwierdziło poprawność większości wydzielonych form oraz ich znaczne zróżnicowanie przestrzenne. Różnice w powierzchniach i lokalizacji form terenu zaprezentowano w formie szeregu map.

We investigated morphological variation and sexual dimorphism in two species of syntopic cave crickets (Troglophilus neglectus and T. cavicola) from Northern Balkans. T. cavicola is able to penetrate deeper in caves and stays there for longer periods than T. neglectus. Yet, it has not exhibited clearly stronger constructive (body size, elongation of appendages, increased spinulation) or reductive (eye reduction) traits than T. neglectus. Moreover, contrary to expectation, there is no clear association between more prolonged staying in a stable cave environment and overall lower morphological variability in T. cavicola. Only some of its morphological traits actually showed less while other showed more variation than in T. neglectus. While T. cavicola males are larger than females, there is no such difference in T. neglectus. This may help males of T. cavicola being more competitive towards overall larger T. neglectus. With the exception of the body size, overall sexual dimorphism was better expressed in larger T. neglectus. The morphospaces occupied by males and females overlap more strongly in T. cavicola than in T. neglectus, indicating that ecological niches of both sexes are better separated in the latter species.
