Morphometrics

morphlab.sc.fsu.edu

The field of morphometrics is concerned with the analysis of shape and form (shape+size). Shape is defined as the set of geometric properties of an object that are invariant to position, orientation, and scale (1). Often scale is sequestered in a separate variable and reincorporated into an analysis to examine the totality of variation in a population of specimens of interest or associations of shape variability with size (allometry).
