Hi Tina, Could you keep me updated on the responses you get, as this particularly interests me as well.

I am wondering which method is more appropriate for shape analysis of rodent mandibles - outlines (Elliptic Fourier Analysis) or semi-landmarks. Mandibles are from different genera of rodents. I know that with outlines I can't include structures 'inside' the outline (on the mandible) but I think with outlines I can capture the shape more precisely. What I am wondering is which method gives more accurate results (besides the influence of differently captured data). Thank you very much for your replies!
