Scaling of the mandible in squirrels. J.Morphol. 232:107-132. defined landmarks on mandible geometically, using median axis and inscribed circles on 2D silhouette. Landmarks defined in this way showed high repeatability and allowed us more thorough sampling of the shape. -vlr == Replies will be sent to list.
