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 …

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 …

Landmark-based geometric morphometrics is a powerful approach to quantifying biological
shape, shape variation, and covariation of shape with other biotic or abiotic variables or …

Over the last decade, geometric morphometric methods have been applied increasingly to
the study of human form. When too few landmarks are available, outlines can be digitized as …

The ability to document the effects of domestication from archaeological remains of animals
and plants is essential for reconstructing the history of one of the most important transitions …

It is well known that the human skull achieves adult size through a superior–inferior gradient
of maturation. Because the basicranium matures in size before the face, it has been …

Sex estimation of skeletal remains is an important issue in both forensics and
bioarchaeology. The chance of attaining a high level of accuracy regarding sex allocations …

Background Plasticity, ie non-heritable morphological variation, enables organisms to
modify the shape of their skeletal tissues in response to varying environmental stimuli …

Morphometrics, a branch of morphology, represents the study of size and shape
components of biological form and their variation in the population. Assessment of optic disc …

Recent studies have revealed interesting differences in upper first molar morphology across
the hominin fossil record, particularly significant between H. sapiens and H …
