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 …

Many ecological and evolutionary studies seek to explain patterns of shape variation and its
covariation with other variables. Geometric morphometrics is often used for this purpose …

A thoroughly revised and updated edition of this introduction to modern statistical methods
for shape analysis Shape analysis is an important tool in the many disciplines where objects …

The prefrontal cortex makes up almost a quarter of the human brain, and it expanded
dramatically during primate evolution. The Neurobiology of the Prefrontal Cortex presents a …

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 …

Morphometrics, the field of biological shape analysis, has undergone major change in
recent years. Most of this change has been due to the development and adoption of …

T oday there is a fully developed statistical toolkit for data that come as coordinates of
named point locations or landmarks. Because all the statistical methods require these …

In recent years, there has been a tendency to correlate the origin of modern culture and
language with that of anatomically modern humans. Here we discuss this correlation in the …

Molecular data suggest that humans are more closely related to chimpanzees than either is
to the gorillas, yet one finds the closest similarity in craniofacial morphology to be among the …
