Comparative ontogenetic shape changes in the skull ofCaiman species (Crocodylia, Alligatoridae)

Journal of Morphology, 1997
Ontogenetic shape changes in the skull of three species of the genus Caiman (C. latirostris, C. sclerops, and C. yacare) are compared by geometric morphometrics for three-dimensional configurations (the least-squares analysis). The technique for obtaining the landmark coordinates is a simplification of the algorithm for multidimensional scaling.
