To whom it may concern I am Iranian student of zoology at the University of Beheshti . I am working on a research project on comparative morphometrics of the ant Cataglyphis nodus collected from 3 different parts of Iran. This will be the first university thesis in Iran which uses the method of geometery (or traditional) morphometries for comparing ants. I have chosen several land marks but I don't know if these are correct or not and also I have several questions about this technique. Would it be possible for you to confirm the landmarks and help me in my research project?Or could you please introduce me someone who works on ant's morphometry?
I can send the sketches of the ants with the chosen landmarks on them. I would very much appreciate your help in this project. Leila Sadegh == Replies will be sent to list. For more information see http://life.bio.sunysb.edu/morph/morphmet.html.
