Here, we present a new method to scan a large number of lithic artefacts using three-
dimensional scanning technology. Despite the rising use of high-resolution 3D surface …

Advances in imaging technologies, such as computed tomography (CT) and surface
scanning, have facilitated the rapid generation of large datasets of high-resolution three …

Landmark‐based geometric morphometrics has emerged as an essential discipline for the
quantitative analysis of size and shape in ecology and evolution. With the ever‐increasing …

Domestic animals are ubiquitous. In contrast to the biodiversity crisis currently impacting
many kinds of animals and plants, not a single domesticated species is endangered …

Photogrammetry (PH) is relatively cheap, easy to use, flexible and portable but its power and
limitations have not been fully explored for studies of small animals. Here we assessed the …

The use of surface digitization techniques and methods in palaeontology has increased in
the last two decades, mainly due to recent improvements in devices and software. However …

Among vertebrates, placental mammals are particularly variable in the covariance between
cranial shape and body size (allometry), with rodents being a major exception. Australian …

The shared functions of the skull are thought to result in common evolutionary patterns in
mammalian cranial shape. Craniofacial evolutionary allometry (CREA) is a particularly …

This work aims to test accuracy and comparability of 3D models of human skeletal fibulae
generated by clinical CT and laser scanner virtual acquisitions. Mesh topology …

In geometric morphometrics, the extent of variation attributable to non-biological causes (ie
measurement error) is sometimes overlooked. The effects of this variation on downstream …
