This may not be in the focus of morphometrics but some of the
developmental issues I must address,
While we mostly deal with the skull shape in geometric morphometrics the
fact remains that developmental basis of skull formation is rather
obscure (at least to me). I would like to know if there are any
comprehensive developmental overviews that can be traced in order to
formulate proper hypotheses about the skull constituent parts. Maybe
even separately for skull elements thet originate from the mesoderm
(somitomeres) and neural crest. There is one complete book (W.J. Moore
"The mammalian skull") and one collection of papers ("Morphogenesis of
the mammalian skull" ed. H.J. Kuhn and U. Zeller) that are quite
informative in this field. Any more recommendations would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
