Further, identifying the sh population with unique shape due to variations in their morphometric characters enable better management of these subunits. Advanced statistical toolkits of morphometry called truss network system and geometric morphometrics have been increasingly used for detecting variations in morphological traits between subunits of sh populations. The present study was therefore carried out with the objective of determining phenotypically distinct units of freshwater sh Systomus sarana collected from geographically isolated locations. Methods: In the present study, 154 specimens of olive barb, S. sarana were collected from four distantly located rivers covering the northern (Ganga), southern (Godavari), central (Narmada), and eastern (Mahanadi) regions of India. Truss-network system and geometric morphometrics have been utilized. Fourteen landmarks were digitized uniformly on each specimen. In the present study, the truss network system yielded size-corrected morphometric characters that were subjected to univariate and multivariate statistical assessment.

  • Geography Behind History
    20. There is a cOlltinuing crisis ofleadership in the politics of Sri Lanka. The clash between the two parties, one, represented by the president of the country and the other, represented by the Prime Minister is a symptom of political factionalism. This divergence of opinion between the two national political parties disturbs the peace process. The Sri Lankan establishment has to make a finu and honest effort to resolve 3 the problem of militancy and the causes responsible for it. Geography Behind History In this chapter, we have tried to describe the physical framework of the South Asian subcontinent. An attempt has been made to recognize the major physiographic regions. The underlying assumption is that the geographical factors determine the boundaries between the regions and within the regions. The evolution of the state from ancient India to the modern times bas been analysed. Different streams of ethnic and ethno#lingual groups came to occupy the subcontinent at different points of time and that set the stage for ethnic intermixing par excellence. The chapter also contains the material on region formation and their geographical extent and boundaries. Two types of regions have been identified: (a) regions based on physiography; and (b) regions based on agro#climatology. There are references to regionalism and regional consciousness of the people of the subcontinent in modern history. The assumption is that geography sets the stage on which the human drama is enacted. It is this terrestrial space on which patterns emerge indicating the on#going process of interaction between nature and the humankind. A general description of geography of the subcontinent is to serve as the foundation for historical exploration (Sastri 1981: 34).
