Abstract of Bookstein, F.L., B. Chernoff, R.L. Elder, J.M. Humphries, G.R. Smith, and R.E. Strauss. 1985. Morphometrics in evolutionary biology. The geometry of size and shape change with examples from fishes. Spec. Publ. 15, Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia, 277 pp.

  • Five chapters explore morphometric analysis of homology, size, allometry, shape, geometry of shape change, truss method, medial axis method, path analysis, shear method, biorthogonal grids, complexity, allometric coherance and reassociation, developmental programs, heterochrony, landmark triangle method, and Wright-style factor analysis. See also Rohlf and Bookstein 1990 (UMMZ), and Bookstein 1992 (Cambridge) for more methods.
