Abstract
The morphological characteristics of the pectoral fin spine were compared in three species of sturgeon, the Persian sturgeon (Acipenser persicus), the Russian sturgeon (Acipenser gueldenstaedtii), and the Starry sturgeon (Acipenser stellatus), all sampled from the Caspian Sea. On the basis of morphological characters of the pectoral fin spine, 62.2% of the individuals were correctly classified into separate groups. The cluster analysis also divided the three species into two major subgroups. Acipenser persicus and A. gueldenstaedtii were grouped together, suggesting a similar evolutionary basis. Significant morphological heterogeneity in pectoral fin spine characteristics was observed among the three sturgeon species. Principal component analysis identified the largest differences were in the pectoral fin spine size and the angle between distal pectoral fin spine and the horizontal line (A°). The first and second principal components (PC1 and PC2) of all observations accounted for 64.19% and 14.33% of the total variation, respectively. The combination of all analyses showed the relevance of applying pectoral fin spine shape for interspecific distinction of the three species of sturgeons.

Principal component analysis identified the largest differences were in the pectoral fin spine size and the angle between distal pectoral fin spine and the horizontal line (A°). The first and second principal components (PC1 and PC2) of all observations accounted for 64.19% and 14.33% of the total variation, respectively. The combination of all analyses showed the relevance of applying pectoral fin spine shape for interspecific distinction of the three species of sturgeons.</abstract><subject><genre>keywords</genre><topic>pectoral spine</topic><topic>ecotypes</topic><topic>species specificity</topic><topic>discrimination</topic></subject><relatedItem type="host"><titleInfo><title>Acta Zoologica</title></titleInfo><titleInfo type="abbreviated"><title>Acta Zool</title></titleInfo><genre type="journal">journal</genre><subject><genre>article-category</genre><topic>Original Article</topic></subject><identifier type="ISSN">0001-7272</identifier><identifier type="eISSN">1463-6395</identifier><identifier type="DOI">10.1111/(ISSN)1463-6395</identifier><identifier type="PublisherID">AZO</identifier><part><date>2013</date><detail type="volume"><caption>vol.</caption><number>94</number></detail><detail type="issue"><caption>no.</caption><number>4</number></detail><extent unit="pages"><start>471</start><end>477</end><total>7</total></extent></part></relatedItem><identifier type="istex">8B9B562AF99344FCEBA9D08B241FD2CE1A9298AD</identifier><identifier type="DOI">10.1111/j.1463-6395.2012.00576.x</identifier><identifier type="ArticleID">AZO576</identifier><accessCondition type="use and reproduction" contentType="copyright">Copyright © 2013 The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences© 2012 The Authors.Acta Zoologica © 2012 The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences</accessCondition><recordInfo><recordContentSource>WILEY</recordContentSource></recordInfo></mods></metadata><serie></serie></istex></record>Pour manipuler ce document sous Unix (Dilib)
