Subject: comparative methods in geometric morphometrics and freeHystrix
issue on geometric morphometrics
To: morphmet@morphometrics.org
Dear All,
I take Blake's message about the PGLS as a chance to suggest a
reference on comparative methods in geometric morphometrics. It's a
great paper and it might be the most updated review on this topic:
Morphometrics and the comparative method: studying the evolution of
biological shape
Leandro Rabello Monteiro
http://www.italian-journal-of-mammalogy.it/article/view/6282/pdf_6282
The paper is an online first version of a free open-access special
issue of the Italian Journal of Mammalogy on "Virtual Morphology and
Evolutionary Morphometrics" (index volume below). The issue will be
out in the second half of June. Online first papers will be appearing
in the next couple of months at:
http://www.italian-journal-of-mammalogy.it/
Besides Leandro's paper, another two are already available as pdf:
Studying ontogenetic trajectories using resampling methods and
landmark data
H. David Sheets, Miriam L. Zelditch
Applying geometric morphometrics to compare changes in size and shape
arising from finite elements analyses
Paul O'Higgins, Nicholas Milne
When the issue is out, I'll send another message.
I hope you will enjoy the reading.
Once more, thanks to Anna Loy for co-editing the volume, thanks to
the entire editorial staff for help and support, and many many thanks
to all the great contributors.
Cheers
Andrea
PS
Hystrix is free, open-access, has an IF (low for now, but the new
editorial staff is working hard to make it bigger asap!) and accept
contributions in all fields of mammalogy including applications using
geometric morphometrics.
