New perspectives on head and neck allometry and ecomorphology in tetrapods

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The skull and neck are vital parts of the body, influencing feeding ecology, habitat exploitation and locomotion. Numerous studies have therefore sought to understand how the size of these segments vary with ecology and scale with overall body size.

Homo luzonensis and the role of homoplasy in the morphology of hominin insular species

open access: yesCladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Homo luzonensis lived during the upper Pleistocene in the northern Philippines, east of the Wallace line. The few specimens attributed to this species show a mosaic of plesiomorphies for the genus Homo and apomorphies found in upper Pleistocene Homo species.

Image data banks and geometric morphometrics

open access: yes, 2010
This paper examines the opportunities offered by recent advances in digital image processing to allow access to natural history museum collections without direct handling of specimens. It specifically refers to two- and three-dimensional data recording and analysis in the frame of geometric morphometrics.

Flooding affects fluctuating asymmetry but not growth of a riparian orbweaving spider

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
In a mesocosm experiment we assessed the impact of flood on aquatic insect emergence and on spider development using geometric morphometric analysis of fluctuating asymmetry. We observed 45% higher emergence in flooded mesocosm throughout the season. Spiders did not grow bigger but exhibited ~15% lower fluctuating asymmetry than in controls.
