Hi Giulia,
among the free programs, you can use PAST (menu
multivariate, cluster analysis, options
pair-group and Euclidean distances). You can use
either shape coordinates or all PCs of shape
coordinates that you can get from MorphoJ. Just
change "ID" (name of the first column) with
"label" or any other word which is not ID after
exporting the txt file from MorphoJ. Or, if you
have a TPS file, you can load it in PAST and do
the superimposition in PAST and then the UPGMA.
PAST does not project data in the tangent space,
I believe, but that generally does not make any
appreciable difference in shape distances and
thus phenograms (for most biological datasets, at least).
In PAST I would not use the bootstrap option when
one analyses Procrustes shape data (reasons
explained in Biological Journal of the Linnean
Society, 2008, 93, p. 829 available at:
https://sites.google.com/site/hymsfme/drandreacardini/publications ).
Good luck.
Cheers
Andrea
