Approximately two decades after the first pioneering analyses, the study of shape asymmetry
with the methods of geometric morphometrics has matured and is a burgeoning field. New …

Geometric morphometrics—a set of methods for the statistical analysis of shape once
saluted as a revolutionary advancement in the analysis of morphology—is now mature and …

Variation in the masticatory behavior of hunter-gatherer and agricultural populations is
hypothesized to be one of the major forces affecting the form of the human mandible …

Abstract Objectives Three‐dimensional (3D) data collected by structured light scanners,
photogrammetry, and computed tomography (CT) scans are increasingly combined in joint …

Dense surface registration, commonly used in computer science, could aid the biological
sciences in accurate and comprehensive quantification of biological phenotypes. However …

Abstract Knowledge of human craniofacial growth (increase in size) and development
(change in shape) is important in the clinical treatment of a range of conditions that affects it …

Recent applications of population genetic models to human craniodental traits have
revealed a strong neutral component to patterns of global variation. However, little work has …

Recent studies have demonstrated that the shape of the human temporal bone is particularly
strongly correlated with neutral genetic expectation, when compared against other cranial …

Discovery of cryptic species using molecular tools has become common in many animal
groups but it is rarely accompanied by morphological revision, creating ongoing problems in …

Objectives This study compares two‐and three‐dimensional morphometric data to
determine the extent to which intra‐and interobserver and intermethod error influence the …
