2007/10/30, morphmet <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: hi Charlotte, I worked for a while with spiders and was also unable to find any mophometric bibliography, except for one or two descriptions of species using linear measurements for taxonomic purposes. I don´t think that there is more to it.
Anyway, about scale, you should take the picture of the object of analysis in question WITH a proper scale. That way you exclude any error due to different amplifications or camera angle. TPSDig allows you to place landmarks and extract scale from the same picture. cheers, Fabio -- Fabio de Andrade Machado Laboratório de Herpetologia Museu de Zoologia da USP Av.
