Geometric morphometrics, homology and cladistics: review and recommendations
A Palci, MSY Lee - Cladistics, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Geometric morphometric (GM) data has a long and contentious history in phylogenetic

Do functional demands associated with locomotor habitat, diet, and activity pattern drive skull shape evolution in musteloid carnivorans?
A major goal of evolutionary studies is to better understand how complex morphologies are
related to the different functions and behaviours in which they are involved. For example …
