The foundations of geometric morphometrics were worked out about 30 years ago and have
continually been refined and extended. What has remained as a central thrust and source of …

Denisovans are members of a hominin group who are currently only known directly from
fragmentary fossils, the genomes of which have been studied from a single site, Denisova …

Fossil evidence points to an African origin of Homo sapiens from a group called either H.
heidelbergensis or H. rhodesiensis. However, the exact place and time of emergence of H …

Abstract Version 1.5 of the computer program TNT completely integrates landmark data into

Many ecological and evolutionary studies seek to explain patterns of shape variation and its
covariation with other variables. Geometric morphometrics is often used for this purpose …

Quantitative shape analysis using geometric morphometrics is based on the statistical
analysis of landmark coordinates. Many structures, however, cannot be quantified using …

Large‐scale digitization projects such as# ScanAllFishes and oVert are generating high‐
resolution microCT scans of vertebrates by the thousands. Data from these projects are …

Approximately two decades after the first pioneering analyses, the study of shape asymmetry
with the methods of geometric morphometrics has matured and is a burgeoning field. New …

Phylogenetic signal is the tendency for closely related species to display similar trait values
due to their common ancestry. Several methods have been developed for quantifying …
