Re: [MORPHMET] new paper: elephant seal nose-metrics

Dear Andrea, Absolutely fascinating! Well, although not using GM methods, the book by William B. Evans & Alexey V. Yablokov, "Noninvasive Study of Mammalian Populations" (Sofia/Moscow: Pensoft, 2004) provides a lot of interesting ideas and insights on the use of analytical techniques for living,

Re: [MORPHMET] Phylogenetic tree in MorphoJ-regrading

Arvind, The NEXUS format is used to represent phylogenetic trees, on which MorphoJ will map your shapes. You don't prepare 2D data in NEXUS format, as the software does not compute phylogenetic trees itself, See the MorphoJ documentation (

Re: [MORPHMET] Copy of TPS files with 'include path'

Gabriel, TPS files are regular text files with data structured in a certain way. Just open your TPS file in a plain text editor (Notepad++ is a good choice) and fix the paths manually using the regular search-and-replace facility. Hope this helps. Salud! -- Dr. Mauro J. Cavalcanti E-mail:

Re: [MORPHMET] model II regression statistics PAST

Patrick, PAST is "free" as in "free beer", not as in *free speech*. It is gratis, but not open. The problem you have is just typical of such black box approach to scientific software development -- since one cannot see the source code, it is not possible to check how this or that algorithm is

[MORPHMET] Complaints about 'geomorph' R package

Dear members of the R geomorph Development Team, As you surely know, I am a big fan of the 'geomorph' R package, which I have been using since its inception (as part of a larger personal move to do every possible analysis, morphometric or not, using R). Several times, I have provided tentative
