Allometry refers to the size-related changes of morphological traits and remains an essential
concept for the study of evolution and development. This review is the first systematic …

Approximately two decades after the first pioneering analyses, the study of shape asymmetry
with the methods of geometric morphometrics has matured and is a burgeoning field. New …

Quantifying integration and modularity of evolutionary changes in morphometric traits is
crucial for understanding how organismal shapes evolve. For this purpose, comparative …

An important aspect of geometric morphometrics, since its beginnings, has been the
visualization of shape changes. A range of methods has been developed with advances in …

Morphological integration and modularity have become central concepts in evolutionary
biology and geometric morphometrics. This review summarizes the most frequently used …

Allometry has been the focus of growing interest in studies using geometric morphometric
methods to address a wide range of research questions at the interface of ecology and …

We explored the ontogenetic dynamics of the morphological and allometric disparity in the
cranium shapes of twelve lacertid lizard species. The analysed species (Darevskia praticola …

Understanding of morphometric variation, length-weight relationship, and condition factors
needed to support fishery resources management and conservation. Therefore, this study …

Body and head shape among fishes both vary between environments influenced by water
velocity and across ontogeny. Although the shape changes associated with variation in …

A non‐random association between an environmental factor and a given trait could be
explained by directional selection (genetic determinism) and by phenotypic plasticity …
