First Application of Morphometrics in a Study of Variations in Uncinial Shape Present within the Terebellidae (Polychaeta)
75 *To whom correspondence and reprint requests should be addressed. E-mail: [email protected] The Terebelliformia (sensu Rouse and Pleijel 2001) is a group of sedentary polychaetes comprising the families Terebellidae, Ampharetidae, Alvinellidae, and Pectiinaridae. Within the taxon Terebelliformia, the family Terebellidae contains more than 400 species grouped in approximately 60 genera withi...
متن کاملTwo Types of Geometric–Arithmetic Index of V–phenylenic Nanotube
The concept of geometric-arithmetic indices was introduced in the chemical graph theory. These indices are defined by the following general formula: ( ) 2 ( ) uv E G u v u v Q Q Q Q GA G , where Qu is some quantity that in a unique manner can be associated with the vertex u of graph G. In this paper the exact formula for two types of geometric-arithmetic index of Vphenylenic nanotube ar...
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 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...
