Morphometrics: Quantitative Analysis of Biological Form and Shape

#morphometrics#principal components analysis#functional morphology#paleontology#statistical analysis

The article introduces morphometrics as a quantitative approach to studying biological form, emphasizing principal components analysis (PCA) for shape analysis and highlighting the integration of multiple lines of evidence for functional morphology in paleontology. It discusses traditional and modern morphometric methods, including landmarks, semilandmarks, and phylogenetically independent contrasts, alongside software tools for statistical analysis.
