Hello, I am trying to format my data so that I can run an analysis. In
the 'how to' section of Morphologika the names of the specimens are
'specimen 1, specimen 2, specimen 3, ... '

My question is can I use some other kind of name, as in the museum
number, or some other designator?

And what do I do with specimens where sex is unknown? If I have 'male,
female, male, female, unknown, male, female...' in my list for sex
labelvalues will this cause confusion in the program?

Thank you, Alex               [email protected]
