Hello Jenny,
I find very interesting your study. May I make a suggestion on how to proceed
with your experimental setup. Maybe you could use semilandmarks to make the
outline shapes of your respective plant and animal structures, and then try to
perform a two-block PLS to see the covariation between both landmark
configurations. I do not know the exact hypothesis of your research, but I
think this would be a good beginning. When doing the latter it might be
interesting for you to combine the matching LMs as type1 LMs with your semiLM
in the outline shapes. I hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Javier Santos Santos

What are the questions you want to ask? What are the components of shape that
you think determine the biology of your system? Is the geometric arrangement of
anthers important? Are the flowers asymmetrical? Where does pollination happen?
Where are the nectar glands located.
What are the 3 landmarks you've considered?

Hi there, I am trying to devise a plan to conduct an analysis of match between
hummingbird bill shape and pollinated flower shape using a landmark-based
analysis. I have been able to identify 3 landmarks that match between flowers
and birds, but as this is not enough to generate principal warps or a PCA I'm
not sure how to proceed. I'm new to this and could use some general pointers on
how to make this unusual comparison.
Thanks!
