Geometric morphometrics of rodent sperm head shape. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Mammalian spermatozoa, particularly those of rodent species, are extremely complex cells and differ greatly in form and dimensions. Thus, characterization of sperm size and, particularly, sperm shape represents a major challenge. No consensus exists on a

A Comparison of Traditional and Geometric Morphometric Techniques for the Study of Basicranial Morphology in Horses: A Case Study of the Araucanian Horse from Colombia [PDF]
Animals, 2020 Skull size and shape have been widely used to study domestic animal populations and breeds. Although several techniques have been proposed to quantify cranial form, few attempts have been made to compare the results obtained by different techniques ...

Exploring desert-adapted beetles with 3D geometric morphometrics [PDF]
Scientific ReportsDarkling beetles (Tenebrionidae) are a diverse and ecologically significant group, particularly in arid environments, yet their taxonomy remains problematic due to scarcity of phylogenetic contributions and robust morphological investigations. This study

A Novel Approach to Study Cranial Shape in Children with Normal and Sagittal Synostosis: An Application of Geometric Morphometrics [PDF]
Neurologia Medico-ChirurgicaTo provide appropriate treatment, neurosurgeons and pediatricians must understand the chronological changes of the cranial morphology in normal children and the differences between normal and sagittal synostosis children. However, this issue has remained

Integrative species delimitation in the common ophiuroid Ophiothrix angulata (Echinodermata: Ophiuroidea): insights from COI, ITS2, arm coloration, and geometric morphometrics [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Ophiothrix angulata (Say, 1825) is one of the most common and well-known ophiuroids in the Western Atlantic, with a wide geographic and bathymetric range. The taxonomy of this species has been controversial for a century because of its high morphological
