The classification of most mammalian orders and families is under debate and the number of
species is likely greater than currently recognized. Improving taxonomic knowledge is …

Traditionally, morphometric studies have relied on statistical analysis of distances, angles or
ratios to investigate morphometric variation among taxa. Recently, geometric techniques …

Morphology‐based taxonomic research frequently applies linear morphometrics (LMM) in
skulls to quantify species distinctions. The choice of which measurements to collect …

Geometric morphometric methods constitute a powerful and precise tool for the
quantification of morphological differences. The use of geometric morphometrics in …

An increasing number of studies are analysing the shapes of objects using geometric
morphometrics with tomographic data, which are often segmented and transformed to three …

Despite the “renaissance” of biogeography in the last two decades with its central role in the
study of biodiversity and evolution, and the “revolution” in morphometrics brought about by …

Objectives This study compares two‐and three‐dimensional morphometric data to
determine the extent to which intra‐and interobserver and intermethod error influence the …

Obtaining coordinate data for geometric morphometric studies often involves the sampling of
dry skeletal specimens from museum collections. But many specimens exhibit damage …

Procrustes‐based geometric morphometric analyses of bilaterally symmetric structures are
often performed using only one side. This is particularly common in studies of cranial …

Taxonomic classification is a fundamental aspect when it comes to understanding the
natural world, yet the current methods for assessing unknown species are often based on …
