Hi all, I've got two questions maybe someone would be able to help me with.
1) I've been trying out Geometric Morphometrics on bivalve shells and have had some great success. While I've been involved with the malacological societies for a while I'm new to the morph scene. Is there a society meeting coming up where I could meet a few colleagues? 2) I'm currently developing a project to look at morphological variation correlated with population structure, I was thinking about using Treescan (Nested Clade Analysis) with principle warps as the phenotype. Does anyone know if there's any lurking statistical problems down that road? If there is, could anyone suggest an alternative (but sequence based approach, as microsat development isn't in the plan) to this question? My warning bells go off with the sheer number of warps I'll be testing with this; the false positive rate might get inflated and will have to correct for that. Thanks in advance!
