Determination of Sexual Dimorphism and Morphological Variation of Pool Barb, Puntius sophore (Cypriniformes, Cyprinidae), Using Landmark Based Geometric Morphometric Analysis

open access: diamondZoodiversity
Geometric morphometrics is an efficient way to quantify biological shape variation and its covariation with other biotic or abiotic factors. The geometric information of an object is measured in a non-linear shape space after removing size, orientation ...

Landmark-based geometric morphometric analysis of wing shape among certain species of Aedes mosquitoes in District Dehradun (Uttarakhand), India

open access: diamondJournal of Vector Borne Diseases, 2015
Background & objectives: Insect wing morphology has been used in many studies to describe variations among species and populations using traditional morphometrics, and more recently geometric morphometrics.

A Novel Approach to Study Cranial Shape in Children with Normal and Sagittal Synostosis: An Application of Geometric Morphometrics [PDF]

open access: yesNeurologia Medico-Chirurgica
To 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]

open access: yesPeerJ, 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

Advances in Geometric Morphometrics [PDF]

open access: yesEvolutionary Biology, 2009
Geometric morphometrics is the statistical analysis of form based on Cartesian landmark coordinates. After separating shape from overall size, position, and orientation of the landmark configurations, the resulting Procrustes shape coordinates can be used for statistical analysis.

Potential Niche Modeling Distribution and Wing Geometric Morphometrics of Apis mellifera In The Brazilian Pantanal

open access: yesSociobiology, 2021
The ecological niche models can be important for biogeographic patterns and processes and geometric morphometrics involves identifying changes that have occurred and comparing them to other specimens from different places and/or environmental conditions,

Thirty years of geometric morphometrics: Achievements, challenges, and the ongoing quest for biological meaningfulness

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Biological Anthropology, 2022
The foundations of geometric morphometrics were worked out about 30 years ago and have continually been refined and extended. What has remained as a central thrust and source of debate in the morphometrics community is the shared goal of meaningful ...
