Leaf shape is spectacularly diverse. As a major component of plant architecture and an
interface for light capture, gas exchange, and thermoregulation, the potential contributions of …

Geometric morphometric (GM) tools are essential for meaningfully quantifying and
understanding patterns of variation in complex traits like shape. In this field, the breadth of …

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 …

Large‐scale digitization projects such as# ScanAllFishes and oVert are generating high‐
resolution microCT scans of vertebrates by the thousands. Data from these projects are …

A hominin third metatarsal discovered in 2007 in Callao Cave (Northern Luzon, the
Philippines) and dated to 67 thousand years ago provided the earliest direct evidence of a …

The use of computers and complex software is pervasive in archaeology, yet their role in the
analytical pipeline is rarely exposed for other researchers to inspect or reuse. This limits the …

Multidimensional analysis of traits are now common in ecology and evolution and are based
on trait spaces in which each dimension summarizes the observed trait combination (a …

Detection of developmental phenotypes in zebrafish embryos typically involves a visual
assessment and scoring of morphological features by an individual researcher. Subjective …

This paper provides a step-by-step guide for the morphological analysis of corolla and the
decomposition of corolla shape variation into its symmetric and asymmetric components …

The field of molecular ecology is transitioning from the use of small panels of classical
genetic markers such as microsatellites to much larger panels of single nucleotide …
