Description and Analysis of Spatial Patterns in Geometric Morphometric Data [PDF]
Evolutionary Biology, 2019 The development of techniques for the acquisition of high-resolution 3D images, such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, has opened new avenues to the study of complex morphologies. Detailed descriptions of internal and external traits can be now obtained, allowing the intensive sampling of surface points. In this paper, we introduce
