DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9698
Abstract: Abstract Morphology‐based taxonomic research frequently applies linear morphometrics (LMM) in skulls to quantify species distinctions. The choice of which measurements to collect generally relies on the expertise of the investigators or a set of standard… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jmor.20643
Abstract: The study of morphological variation among and within taxa can shed light on the evolution of phenotypic diversification. In the case of urodeles, the dorso‐ventral view of the head captures most of the ontogenetic and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jmor.20696
Abstract: Pores and sensilla on ostracod shell have often been used in studies of ontogeny, taxonomy, and phylogeny of the group. However, an analysis of sexual dimorphism and variation between valves in the number and distribution… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jmor.21393
Abstract: In this study, we want to investigate the covariation in the shape of two carpal bones, the triquetrum and hamate, and the possible association with locomotor behavior in a broad range of primate taxa. We… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jflm.2020.102048
Abstract: Calliphoridae is a family of Diptera of great forensic interest because some of its species belong to the sarcosaprophagous diptera community, as their larvae are necrophagous or necrophilous. In the Iberian Peninsula there are six… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ympev.2018.12.007
Abstract: To accurately delimit species the use of multiple character types is essential as all speciation processes are not equally reflected in different data (e.g. morphological, molecular or ecological characters). With the introduction of geometric morphometrics… read more here.
