Description
Standardized measurements of wing length and dried body mass components under stereomicroscope to quantify adult fitness proxies and assess elevation effects on body size.
Typical Equipment
- stereomicroscope (6.5X)
- drying oven
- desiccation chamber
- Cahan microbalance
Output Measurements
- wing length
- body length
- thorax dry weight
- abdomen dry weight
