Objectifying processes: The use of geometric morphometrics and multivariate analyses on Acheulean tools

open access: yesJournal of Lithic Studies, 2020
Nowadays, the fruitful discussion regarding the morphological variability of handaxes during the Middle Pleistocene has reached a decisive moment with the use of more accurate statistical methods, such as geometric morphometrics (GM) and multivariate ...

Leaf shape and size variability of Dryas octopetala in the Central Great Caucasus (the Kazbegi region, Georgia) based on traditional and geometric morphometrics [PDF]

open access: yesBotanica Serbica
While soil pH is known to be a key driver of plant species composition, we still have a poor understanding of the quantification of the responses of leaf traits to different soil types, especially in highly sensitive alpine environments susceptible to

Wing Geometric Morphometrics as a Tool for the Identification of Culex Subgenus Mosquitoes of Culex (Diptera: Culicidae)

open access: yesInsects, 2020
Simple Summary Different mosquito species have different ecology and behaviors. Therefore, the correct identification of vector mosquito species is essential for the development of targeted mosquito control operations.

Morphometric Identification of Queens, Workers and Intermediates in In Vitro Reared Honey Bees (Apis mellifera).

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
In vitro rearing is an important and useful tool for honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) studies. However, it often results in intercastes between queens and workers, which are normally are not seen in hive-reared bees, except when larvae older than three days

Geometric morphometric footprint analysis of young women [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Foot and Ankle Research, 2013
AbstractBackgroundMost published attempts to quantify footprint shape are based on a small number of measurements. We applied geometric morphometric methods to study shape variation of the complete footprint outline in a sample of 83 adult women.MethodsThe outline of the footprint, including the toes, was represented by a comprehensive set of 85 ...

Comprehensive Methods for Leaf Geometric Morphometric Analyses [PDF]

open access: yesBIO-PROTOCOL, 2017
Leaf morphometrics are used frequently by several disciplines, including taxonomists, systematists, developmental biologists, morphologists, agronomists, and plant breeders to name just a few. Leaf shape is highly variable and can be used for identifying species or genotypes, developmental patterning within and among individuals, assessing plant health,

Head morphology in three species of tiger beetles (Coleoptera: cicindelidae): a geometric morphometric study

open access: yesThe European Zoological Journal
Tiger beetles are one of the world’s most studied groups of insects. They are similar in body shape and proportions and have a well-sclerotized head with large protruding eyes that make it wider than the pronotum.

Pathologies of Between-Groups Principal Components Analysis in Geometric Morphometrics

open access: yesEvolutionary biology, 2019
Good empirical applications of geometric morphometrics (GMM) typically involve several times more variables than specimens, a situation the statistician refers to as “high p/n,” where p is the count of variables and n the count of specimens.
