Dear Colleagues, We have three important announcements regarding geomorph.
First, our new article is out in MEE: geomorph v4.0 and gmShiny: Enhanced analytics and a new graphical interface for a comprehensive morphometric experience. https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/2041-210X.13723 Second, as explained by the article, we wish to announce our new software package, gmShiny, available at www.gmshiny.com. On this website, you’ll find two methods for launching the app and several tutorial videos that highlight some of the basic functions and options available. Exploration of the app does not require data, although feel free to upload your own 2D TPS, NTS or Stereomorph files. Several of the available operations in the app include: - GPA - PCA and PaCA - Warp grid plotting and manipulation - Modularity and Integration - Symmetry - Phylogenetic signal - Linear models and model comparison - Allometry Third, as a reminder, geomorph 4.0 was launched a few months ago (updates are described in the new article). Here is a list of updates, some of which have just become available on Github, since launching version 4.0: - Added a transform argument to morphol.disparity for PGLS models, consistent with gm.prcomp approaches. - New function, na.omit.geomorph.data.frame. - Included calculation of individual asymmetry indices to bilat.symmetry output - Updated bilat.symmetry to use arguments available with updates to RRPP::lm.rrpp, taking advantage of parallel processing, and turbo-charged (coefficient-suppressed) calculations to maximize speed. - Added various gpagen options, including calculating bending energy for semilandmarks form approximated thin-plate spline (helpful for large data sets) - More options for parallel processing, on all operating systems. - Make_ggplot2 function for converting geomorph plots to ggplot objects, which can then be amended You can download geomorph directly from Github with the following single line of code, which is the best way to the most up-to-date package: devtools::install_gituhub(“geomorphR/geomorph”, ref = “Stable”) Finally, because there have been significant expansions to geomorph’s capabilities since its inception, we request that any future research publications use the paper listed above as the official geomorph citation, rather the 2013 paper (which described its original release).
