Geometric Morphometric

Definition:
Morphometrics - any quantitative measurements and analysis of morphological characters

Geometric Morphometrics - the quantitative and analysis of morphological shape using geometric coordinates intead of measurements

Advantages of geometric
1. Result presented visually as 'shape' rather than tables of numbers
2. Data easily collected from digital photographs
3. Size is mathematically removed from the analysis to focus on pure shape

Disadvantages of geometric
1. Size is completely absent from analysis, where sometime size may be biologically relevant
2. ONLY single rigid structure can be easily analysed

Example of geometric: Finger prints

Software: MorphoJ + tpsDIG software
