LANDMARKS IN MORPHOMETRICS, OR THE SHAPE AND SIZE OF MORPHOMETRICS TO COME [PDF]

open access: yesEvolution, 1991
Those of us concerned with phenotypic evolution frequently find it necessary to measure some structure and relate variation in shape or size to growth rate or age, to evolutionary hypotheses related to adaptation and geographic variation, or to questions of systematics.

The promise of geometric morphometrics [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Physical Anthropology, 2002
Nontraditional or geometric morphometric methods have found wide application in the biological sciences, especially in anthropology, a field with a strong history of measurement of biological form. Controversy has arisen over which method is the "best" for quantifying the morphological difference between forms and for making proper statistical ...

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.
