Morphometrics quantitatively describes the morphological variation of objects. When applied
to biological forms, it is a particular field of biometrics. In medical entomology, where a major …

Morphometrics underwent a revolution more than one decade ago. In the modern
morphometrics, the estimate of size is now contained in a single variable reflecting variation …

Modern methods allow a geometric representation of forms, separating size and shape. In
entomology, as well as in many other fields involving arthropod studies, shape variation has …

Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on the phenotype, which is the product of the
interaction between genes and environment, as a set of metric properties and their …

The recent expansion of a variety of morphometric tools has brought about a revolution in
the comparison of morphology in the context of the size and shape in various fields including …

Geometric morphometrics is a novel approach to biological shape analysis, and its
application to medical entomology is just beginning. Here, we use it to examine …

The analysis of shape is a fundamental part of much biological research. As the field of
statistics developed, so have the sophistication of the analysis of these types of data. This …

The first edition of Geometric Morphometrics for Biologists has been the primary resource for
teaching modern geometric methods of shape analysis to biologists who have a stronger …

At the core of contemporary morphometrics—the quantitative study of biological shape
variation—is a synthesis of two originally divergent methodological styles. One contributory …

The field of morphometrics is developing quickly. Recent advances have enabled geometric
techniques to be applied to many zoological problems, particularly those involving …
