Subject: Re: Why semilandmarks when I can use lendmarks?
To: morphmet@morphometrics.org
There's a short section on this in an article definition I wrote.
Cardini A., 2012. Geometric morphometrics.
Article defintion for Encyclopedia Of Life Support Systems
(EOLSS): http://www.eolss.net/

There you should find quite a bit of references
on the aim of these 'special' points and their pros and cons.
An important ref., which is certainly missing, is
a recent paper in Syst. Biol.:
McCane, 2013. Shape Variation in Outline Shapes.
Syst. Biol. 62(1):134–146, 2013
Good luck.
Cheers
Andrea
