Subject: Yellow Book on Virtual Morphology etc. now available for free
To: morphmet@morphometrics.org
Dear All,
I am glad to announce that the Yellow Book on
"Virtual Morphology and Evolutionary
Morphometrics in the new millenium" is finally
out and can be downloaded for free at:
http://www.italian-journal-of-mammalogy.it/public/journals/3/issue_241_complete_100.pdf
The full list of contents is at the bottom of the
message. It's a broad range of topics (from the
latest review on geometric morphometrics to
visualization techniques, comparative and
resampling methods, comparisons of trajectories,
semilandmark methods, examples of applications in
R as well as topics such biomechanics,
modularity/integration, lines of least
evolutionary resistance, ecometrics, taxonomic
identification and bioacoustics, and more). To my
knowledge, these are not only the most updated
and probably complete reviews/example studies
available on these issues but also and most often
cover aspects that you will not find anywhere else in the literature.
I hope you will enjoy the reading!
I would like to thank again a lot all
contributors, Anna Loy (who coedited the volume),
Damiano Preatoni (tech. editor) and the whole
editorial board and staff of Hystrix
(http://www.italian-journal-of-mammalogy.it/), as
well as the Associazione Teriologica Italiana,
who sponsored the publication and covered all costs.
I take this chance to remind you that we hope
very soon to see the impact of Hystrix increase
rapidly and we are looking forward to receiving
high quality contributions on mammals from
morphometricians and other fields of science.
Please, be also aware that there is a 500 EUR
Best Paper Award for young researchers.
Sincerely
Andrea
