On applications of geometric morphometrics to studies of ontogeny and phylogeny.
In press − − do not cite 2 The field of geometric morphometrics is relatively new (see Bookstein, 1991, Rohlf and Marcus, 1993) and has shown very rapid progress over the last few years. As might be expected during a period of rapid development, there can be technical problems in some of the pioneering studies as biologists attempt to apply the new tools. It is only now becoming clear how the n...
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...
متن کاملpostnatal studies of bats (pipistrellus kuhlii and miniopterus schreibersii) & histomorphology and histochemistry studies of organs and diseases of (neurergus microspilotus and n. kaiseri)
1. to determine whether difference in birth body mass influenced growth performance in pipistrellus kuhlii we studied a total of 12 captive-born neonates. bats were assigned to two body mass groups: light birth body mass (lbw: 0.89 ± 0.05, n=8) and heavy birth body mass (hbw: 1.35 ± 0.08, n=4). heavier body mass at birth was associated with rapid postnatal growth (body mass and forearm length) ...
