Morphometrics-the quantitative description, analysis, and interpretation of shape and shape
variation in biology-is a fundamental area of research. Techniques of description and …

Outline-based morphometric methods have been more or less restricted to the consideration
of closed curves and plagued by problems related to the maintenance of close biological …

Many areas of geological inquiry involve the description and/or comparison of shapes. While
various morphometric tools have long been available to facilitate these types of …

Otolith shape analysis was examined to determine its utility for stock identification of
haddock Melanogrammus aeglefinus on Georges Bank. Otolith samples were collected from …

A general morphometric procedure is described that organizes collections of microfossil
outlines according to their shape. It involves representing the greatest proportion of variation …

The influence of feeding history on otolith shape and symmetry was examined in juveniles of
2 species of coral reef fish, Amphiprion akindynos and Pomacentrus amboinensis. Fast …

Fourier outline shape analysis is a powerful tool for the morphometric study of two‐
dimensional form in organisms lacking many biologically homologous landmarks. Several …

Sagittal otolith shapes were investigated in order to identify three sympatric species of south
Caspian gobies (Caspian goby Neogobius caspius, deepwater goby Ponticola bathybius …

It has always been obvious that organisms have properties making them 'different'from each
other. Historically, taxonomists have sought to register these differences and similarities by …

The revolution in morphometrics over the last 20 years has largely been in shape analysis
methods that explicitly encode shape. These methods, which include Fourier outline shape …
