Probably better if it's a single word (like specimen_1, specimen_2 etc. or just 1 2 etc.). Also unknown is fine for sex. Cheers Andrea At 08:05 26/02/2009 -0500, you wrote:

Nevgloski Jr <[email protected]> Reply-To: [email protected] To: [email protected] 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?
