Morphological variations and asymmetry

Description

This cluster of papers focuses on advances in geometric morphometrics, statistical analysis, and quantitative genetics to study shape variation, morphological integration, modularity, and cranial evolution. It explores methods for landmark-based analysis, phylogenetic analysis, and developmental stability in the context of evolutionary biology.

Keywords
