Morphometric Analysis of Old World Talpidae (Mammalia, Insectivora) Using Partial-Warp Scores

Rohlf, F. James, Loy, Anna, Corti, Marco·1996·Systematic Biology

Abstract

We illustrate one approach to bridging the gap between the statistical methodology of multivariate morphometrics and the graphically oriented methods of geometric morphometrics for landmark data. Partial-warp scores (elements of the weight matrix from relative-warp analysis) are used as variables to describe nonaffine shape variation. The results of various multivariate analyses can then be visualized by reconstruction of images as weighted linear combinations of thin-plate splines. The method was applied to data on seven species of Old World moles of the family Talpidae. There was no evidence for sexual dimorphism or any interaction between sex differences and species differences. There were large statistically significant differences among species with respect to nonaffine shape differences (local deformations). Small but statistically significant differences were found among species with respect to the uniform component of shape variation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
