Geometric morphometrics: ten years of progress following the ‘revolution’
The analysis of shape is a fundamental part of much biological research. As the field of statistics developed, so have the sophistication of the analysis of these types of data. This lead to multivariate morphometrics in which suites of measurements were analyzed together using canonical variates analysis, principal components analysis, and related methods. In the 1980s, a fundamental change be...
متن کاملGeometric Morphometrics
The field of morphometrics is developing quickly and recent advances allow for geometric techniques to be applied easily to many zoological problems. This article briefly introduces geometric morphometric techniques and then reviews selected areas where those techniques have been applied to questions of general interest. This article is relevant to non-specialists looking for an entry into geom...
متن کاملTen years of progress in ophthalmology
Today, giant leaps are being made in ocular surface imaging, a technique that is now capable of achieving the level of cellular resolution of the retina and the optic nerve. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is used to visualise all the cells in the retina. With adaptive optics (2005), a complementary technique, each individual photoreceptor is distinguished. Numerous therapeutic paths have be...
متن کاملThe promise of geometric morphometrics.
Nontraditional or geometric morphometric methods have found wide application in the biological sciences, especially in anthropology, a field with a strong history of measurement of biological form. Controversy has arisen over which method is the "best" for quantifying the morphological difference between forms and for making proper statistical statements about the detected differences. This pap...
متن کاملGeometric morphometrics and phylogeny
This paper reviews some of the important properties of geometric morphometric shape variables and discusses the advantages and limitations of the use of such data in studies of phylogeny. A method for fitting morphometric data to a phylogeny (i.e., estimating ancestral states of the shape variables) is presented using the squared-change parsimony criterion for estimation. These results are then...
