[MORPHMET] New Publication

[Javier Santos]

Dear Group,

I would like to bring to your attention a publication in course that I have 
just uploaded on the BioRxiv server. It is a direct extract of a chapter in my 
recently defended PhD dissertation:

"Morphological variation in Blommersia pelvic shape coincides with muscular 
architecture and parallels genus phylogenetic evolution"
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/586248v1

I believe the manuscript may be the first time the Generalized Procrustes 
Surface Analysis (GPSA; Pomidor et al., 2016) has been successfully applied to 
a biological hypothesis. In any case, I would like to have feedback on the 
interpretation of the results from the experts of the Morphmet community. The 
article will be sent to peer review once the formal description of a couple of 
the species used have been published.

Any and all feedback are welcome as comments on the BioRxiv server or directly 
to me by email. Thank you in advance, and I hope you find the study interesting 



Best wishes,
Javier H. Santos-Santos

Dear Colleagues,

I like to we share with you a recent article published in the open journal
PE-APA of the Asociación Paleontológica Argentina. In this contribution we
aim to honor D’Arcy Thompson’s pioneering intellectual work in the
centennial of “On growth and form”. Hope you like it and enjoy reading.

[MORPHMET] New Publication on Geometric Morphometrics and Genetics of Floral Symmetry

['Yoland SAVRIAMA' via MORPHMET]

Dear colleagues,

I would like to attract your attention on this newly published paper.

Berger, BA, Ricigliano, VA, Savriama, Y., Lim, A., Thompson, V. & Howarth 
DG. 2017. Geometric morphometrics reveals shifts in flower shape symmetry 
and size following gene knockdown of *CYCLOIDEA* and *ANTHOCYANIDIN 
SYNTHASE*.* BMC Plant Biology*. 17:205.
https://doi.org/10.1186/s12870-017-1152-x

The very first study coupling geometric morphometrics and Virus Induced 
Gene Silencing (VIGS) to quantify the phenotypic effects of knocking down a 
single CYC2 paralog, FgCYC2A, as well as the reporter gene, FgANS in 
symmetry of flowers. 

Best wishes!
Yoland Savriama

[MORPHMET] New publication on measurement error and scan sharing

[ltallman]

Hello all, 

Today our manuscript evaluating potential causes of inter- and intra-observer 
error in 3DGM data was published in PLoS One.  In it, we evaluate how scan 
type, experience with morphology and morphemetrics and in-person training 
impact rates of error in datasets.  Might be of interest to some of you!

[MORPHMET] New publication on patterns of skull modularity and integration over postnatal ontogeny

['Tina Klenovšek' via MORPHMET]

Dear Morphometricians,



we wish to inform you about a publication on skull modularity and integration 
across ontogenetic stages in a long-lived vole with well-defined age stages 
conducted on wild and laboratory bred specimens from two phylogenetic groups:





Modularity and cranial integration across ontogenetic stages in Martino's vole, 
Dinaromys bogdanovi

Link: http://www.ctoz.nl/vol85/nr03/a02



Abstract: We explored modularity and morphological integration of the ventral 
cranium during postnatal ontogeny in Martino's vole (Dinaromys bogdanovi). Two 
closely related phylogenetic groups, originating from the Central and 
Southeastern part of the species range in the western Balkans, were considered. 
As expected, both phylogroups had similar patterns of ontogenetic changes in 
cranial size and shape variation, modularity and integration. At the level of 
within individual variation, the hypothesis that the viscerocranial and 
neurocranial regions are separate modules was rejected, indicating that the 
hypothesized modules are not developmental, but rather functional. At the level 
of among individual variation, the viscerocranium and the neurocranium could 
not be recognized as separate modules at the juvenile stage. The strength of 
association between the hypothesized modules becomes lower with age which 
finally results in a clear 2-module organization of the ventral cranium at the 
adult stage. On the other hand, patterns of morphological integration for the 
cranium as a whole, the viscerocranium and the neurocranium stay consistent 
across ontogenetic stages. The developmental mechanism producing integration of 
the cranium as a whole, as well as integration of the neurocranium, varies 
throughout postnatal ontogeny. In contrast, we detected the ontogenetic 
stability of the mechanism responsible for covariation of viscerocranial traits 
which could provide ongoing flexibility of the viscerocranial covariance 
structure for high functional demands during lifetime. Findings from our study 
most likely support the idea of the 'palimpsest-like' model of covariance 
structure. Moreover, similarity or dissimilarity in the patterns of within and 
among individual variation in different sets of analyzed traits and comparisons 
across ontogenetic stages demonstrate how studies on small mammals other than 
mice can give new insights into postnatal cranial development.



Kind regards,



Tina Klenovšek and Vida Jojić
