PIVOT LENGTHNR and LENGTH columns

observation

animal length

The distance from point to point along the longest axis of the body of an organism.

PIVOT LENGTHNR and LENGTH columns

observation

mantle length

The standard measure of length in coleoid cephalopods. In decapodiforms ML is measured along the dorsal midline from the mantle margin to the posterior tip of the body, excluding long tails. In octopodiforms ML is measured from a line joining the midpoint of the eyes rather than the anterior mantle margin since the latter is obscured by the head/mantle fusion.

PIVOT LENGTHNR and LENGTH columns

observation

invertebrate carapace length

Measurement in a straight line from the ridge between the two largest spines above the eyes, back to the rear edge of the carapace.

PIVOT LENGTHNR and LENGTH columns

observation

turtle carapace length

Length of the turtles carapace. This can be measured in 3 ways: 1. SCL minimum: from the notch at the anterior of the carapace to the notch at the posterior end of the carapace where the last 2 marginal scutes meet. 2. SCL n-t: from the notch at the anterior of the carapace to the tip of the last posterior marginal scute. Usually measured to whichever scute is longer. 3. SCL maximum: from the anterior edge of the carapace to the tip of the last posterior marginal scute. Usually measured to whichever scute is longer.
