Good morning, I was wondering if anyone could recommend the best program(s) out of the applications offered on the SUNY morphometrics website (or elsewhere online) for quantitatively comparing open, curved shapes without any real homologous landmarks (or perhaps one landmark, at a stretch). The specimens are cross-sections of a gastropod lip varix, shaped something like half a dumbbell with the bar part open (if that makes any sense). If possible, we'd also like to quantify the concentric growth rings throughout ontogeny in each of these structures. (A picture would probably help get the problem across much better than my explanation, but I'm not sure what the policy is on attachments to these emails...)
Thanks and best regards, Leah Reilly CUNY EEB Ph.D. student -- Replies will be sent to the list. For more information visit http://www.morphometrics.org
